Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
Wash the cauliflower and remove the outer leaves. Slice the cauliflower into 3/4 to 1-inch thick 'steaks' through the core
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well
Arrange the cauliflower steaks on the baking sheet and coat both sides with the spice mixture
Roast for 20-25 minutes, then flip each steak and roast for another 15-20 minutes until fork-tender and golden brow
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve with lemon wedges

Notes

For a spicy kick, add cayenne pepper to the spice mixture.

Don't waste the florets that break off; roast them alongside the steaks.
