This vegan recipe for grilled cauliflower steaks with buttery (but butter-free!) butter beans and almond pesto comes together in just 25 minutes but is impressive enough to serve to guests. We’re sorry to ask you to buy 2 heads of cauliflower to make this recipe when you only cut a couple of “steaks” from each, but it guarantees the best results. Just think of it this way: having leftovers gives you an excuse to try one of our many other healthy cauliflower recipes!02of 09Cauliflower Steaks with ChimichurriView RecipeIn this stunning, healthy cauliflower recipe, a head of cauliflower is cut into thick slabs then roasted until caramelized and served with chimichurri, a garlic-herb sauce. The cauliflower steaks make a fine accompaniment to actual steaks, or better still, serve them on their own as a vegetarian alternative to steak. Each head of cauliflower will provide 2 to 3 steaks from the center–the sides tend to crumble. For a truly show-stopping presentation, use the center portion of 2 heads and save the rest of the cauliflower for another recipe that calls for cauliflower florets.03of 09Curried Cauliflower Steaks with Red Rice & TzatzikiView RecipeGone are the days when your rice choices were limited to white and brown. In this healthy vegetarian dinner recipe, the aromatic flavor of red rice or brown basmati jibes deliciously with fragrant curry powder.

Roast the florets alongside the steaks, then toss them with some chickpeas and tzatziki sauce for a healthy lunch (see Tip, below).04of 09Parmesan-Crusted Cauliflower with White Beans & TomatoesView RecipeJason DonnellyThis Parmesan-crusted cauliflower makes a flavorful and hearty vegetarian main that is ready in under an hour.

Dried oregano and fresh thyme and rosemary flavor the cauliflower. Balsamic vinegar paired with Parmesan cheese adds a nice sweet and savory balance to the dish.06of 09Roasted Cauliflower Steak & Spanakopita MeltsView RecipeIn this genius carb swap recipe, we take all the flavors of the Greek spinach pie, spanakopita, and put it on a low-carb roasted cauliflower steak. Plus, because you don’t have to deal with the fussy layers of phyllo, it’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.07of 09Ancho Chile Grilled Cauliflower SteaksView RecipeCauliflower’s round shape can be cut into slabs or florets for the grill. Here, it’s grilled both ways after being rubbed with a blend of spicy seasonings and basted with a fresh cilantro-lime vinaigrette.08of 09Vegan Cauliflower Steaks with Mushroom GravyView RecipeThe highlight of this gorgeous vegan holiday main dish recipe is the surprisingly rich dairy-free mushroom gravy. The roasted cauliflower is also pleasantly delicious thanks to a little caramelization while roasting. Smother a side of vegan mashed potatoes with any extra gravy.09of 09Cauliflower ParmesanView RecipeThis vegetarian version of chicken Parmesan uses cauliflower “steaks” in place of chicken, and has all the classic comforting flavors, without the meat! The steaks are cooked until just tender and topped with a rich sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. Despite their names, classic Italian-American chicken Parm and eggplant Parm don’t always contain Parmesan cheese. If it’s not “Parm” to you without Parm, feel free to sprinkle on a little grated Parmesan after you add the sauce to the cauliflower cutlets.Was this page helpful?Thanks for your feedback!Tell us why!OtherSubmit
