Ingredients
Cauliflower steaks
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup ricotta or cheese of choice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- seasonings of choice (I use garlic, sea salt, pepper, & oregano)
- Toppings, of choice (basil, mushrooms, olives, green onions, etc).
Almond Ricotta
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp chopped, fresh basil
- 1/3-1/2 cup water
Instructions
Cauliflower Steak
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Wash your cauliflower and remove the stem, while keeping the cauliflower intact.
- Cut the cauliflower into about 1 1/2 inch slices or "steaks". Lay them on a parchment lined baking dish.
- Brush the olive oil over both sides of the steaks and sprinkle over any seasonings you'd like. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping half way through, until the cauliflower is golden.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven. Add some of the sauce to the top of each one. Then add the cheese and any toppings. Place the oven on broil and return the pan, letting it cook for a minute or two until the sauce and cheese have heated through (if using another cheese than ricotta, it should be bubbly).
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Almond Ricotta
- All all of the ingredients to a high powered blender, starting with 1/3 cup water. Blend for a few minutes until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add a little more water if needed to get it to blend, but you want it to be somewhat thick like actual ricotta. Taste and adjust as you need.
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container.
