Ingredients

• 1 large head Cauliflower
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
• 0.5 cup Green olives
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Capers
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem. Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch-thick slices, keeping the core intact to hold the 'steaks' together.

Step 3

Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 4

Place the cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

Step 5

While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the olive relish. Finely chop the Kalamata and green olives, parsley, and garlic cloves.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped olives, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, capers, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, red pepper flakes, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Once the cauliflower steaks are done roasting, transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 8

Spoon the olive relish over the cauliflower steaks and serve immediately. Enjoy!
