Roasted Cauliflower Steaks w/ Pesto
Roasted Cauliflower is one of my favorite things! This is an incredibly easy recipe for a delcious meal or side dish. The pesto will make more than enough for two heads of Cauliflower or to use in some Pasta.
Serves 2-4 (double up the amount of Cauliflower)
Ingredients
1 Large Head of Cauliflower
2 tsp of Grape Seed Oil
Salt & Pepper
Pesto Ingredients
2 cups of Basil Leaves
1/3 cup Pine Nuts
1/2 - 2/3 cups of grated Vegan Parmesan ( I like Follow Your Heart & Violife brands)
2 cloves of Garlic
1 tsp of Lemon Juice
1/4 - 1/3 cup Grape Seed Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions
1. Wash and core out as much of the Cauliflower as you can with still keeping the head intact
2. Lightly rub a bit of Oil on the Cauliflower and season with Salt & Pepper.
3. Place the Cauliflower on a sheet pan and bake at 375 for 1 hour
4. While the Cauliflower is baking make the pesto
5. In a food processor, combine all the ingredients except the Oil together and pulse until everything is minced
6. With the processor running, slowly add in the Oil satrting with 1/4 cup until the mixture is loose but has a paste like consistency
7. Allow the Cauliflower to cool a bit before cutting into slices
