Cajun Spicy Roasted Cauliflower Steak

September 4, 2014 by naivecookcooks 18 Comments

Cajun Spicy Roasted Cauliflower Steak served as a side or as a meal! (GF + DF + VEGAN + VEGETARIAN)

Cajun Spicy Roasted Cauliflower Steak

When it comes to food choices, we both have our own differences. I love anything full of veggies, sight of veggie packed meal makes me all happy while on the other hand, for him a meal with tons of veggie is not a meal but a salad and in his world, salad is not counted as a meal! Men, I tell you! So after our NY trip back home, I found myself with an empty refrigerator and almost clueless what to eat for lunch.

Last time, I made cauliflower steaks spiced with Indian tandoori seasoning and yogurt, I ended up consuming whole cauliflower by myself as after a bite Jerry declared them too healthy for his taste! So when I saw a full head of cauliflower sitting in refrigerator, I knew what I was having for lunch. I had no yogurt and short on time, I had no intention of letting it sit to marinate. So I decided to spice these up with my all time favorite cajun seasoning. I tell you, these are super simple yet delicious and healthy meal and you don’t even need to baby these. Just ppo them in a 420F oven and bake for around 45-50 minutes, flipping them halfway and you have a healthy, super tasty and delicious vegetarian meal ready!

If you want, you can serve them over a bed of rice, brown rice, cooked millet, lemony quinoa or just plain. Options are endless! So enjoy and have a light flavor packed meal all by yourself or with your loved ones!

I can’t stop.

    So true – veggies tend to be girl food while the guys crave the meat. Ha! I know that’s not always true, but it seems that way sometimes, doesn’t it? These look delicious! Thanks so much. Pinning it now.

    I love roasted cauliflower – slice it into steaks is a great idea – more crispy browned areas! Will have to try the cajun seasoning – it seems that will definitely give it some zing!

    Cauliflower is one vegetable that people avoid in cooking, although it has a great sweet flavor and add a great texture to dishes. Your spicy cajun cauliflower looks yummy!
