Notes

If you wish to make more than 2 steaks at a time, you can line a baking sheet with parchment and bake in the oven at 220C/430F for 15-20 minutes.
There are plenty of ways you can switch up this meal to suit your tastes. Here are some ideas:
  • Plain - mix up a little olive oil ,lemon juice, garlic powder and salt and roast the cauliflower steaks. Great if you have a super flavorful bean stew to serve it with.
  • Cheesy- Mix nutritional yeast, a little dijon mustard and olive oil with some garlic powder and spread over to replace the chili-tomato marinade.
  • Indian Spiced- make a spice mixture with some turmeric powder, garam masala, lemon juice, olive oil and a little salt. Spread all over the cauliflower before air-frying.
