About the Recipe
This plant-based main is all about showcasing cauliflower in its most impressive form. Thick slices are roasted until golden, bringing out the vegetable’s natural nuttiness. Garlic provides a robust savory flavor, while fresh dill adds a bright, aromatic lift. Cauliflower is a rich source of vitamin C and fiber, supporting immune health and digestion. Dill, beyond flavor, offers antioxidants and flavonoids linked to heart and anti-inflammatory benefits. This dish is light, nourishing, and packed with texture, crispy edges, tender centers, and herbaceous notes.
Ingredients
1 medium ForestFoods cauliflower (cut into thick steaks)
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
2–3 tbsp olive oil
Fresh ForestFoods dill, finely chopped
Juice of ½ a lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Your favourite spices i.e paprika, cumin or forestfoods sun kissed seasonal blend, for a spicy kick (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
Trim cauliflower base and slice into thick 1.5–2cm steaks.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak with the garlic-oil mixture.
Arrange on a lined baking sheet. Roast until edges are golden and centers are tender when pierced with a fork, about 25–30 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped dill and season with salt and pepper or your favorite spices. Serve warm.
Why the Recipe Works
This recipe celebrates simplicity and seasonality. Cauliflower’s firm structure makes it ideal for steaks, while roasting enhances its mild, nutty flavor. Dill adds brightness, cutting through the rich, roasted edges. It’s also a nutrient-dense pairing: cauliflower is rich in fiber and antioxidants, while dill brings anti-inflammatory properties. With all the main ingredients being readily available, it’s a practical and health-forward meal choice.
Perfect Pairing
These steaks are versatile enough to pair with almost anything. Serve over a bed of michelagio or mimosa lettuce, or alongside a warm beetroot and baby red cabbage slaw for crunch and colour. For heartier meals, plate with herbed lentils or a scoop of creamy mashed potatoes. Add a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of tahini or yogurt dressing if desired.
