Ingredients

For the Cauliflower:

  • 2 whole heads of cauliflower, cut into 4 to 5 1½ inch thick steaks
  • ¼ cup of olive oil
  • 4 sprigs of thyme
  • 4 cloves of garlic, smashed
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Romesco Sauce:

  • 16oz jar roasted red peppers, drained
  • ½ cup roasted almonds unsalted
  • ¼ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, rinsed and drained.
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus more if needed
  • ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Combine the olive oil, thyme sprigs, and smashed garlic in a small mixing bowl. Pour it over the cauliflower steaks evenly making sure they are fully coated. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. On the D3 Stainless Bonded Ovenware 14 x 17 Inch Roasting Sheet place the coated cauliflower with even spacing. Spoon the smashed garlic and herbs from the mixture and place them on top of the cauliflower pieces.
  4. Place the roasting sheet in the oven and roast for 5 minutes.
  5. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and adjust the oven temperature to 475°F. Once your oven has reached the temperature, place the roasting sheet back into the oven for 10 minutes.
  6. Remove and flip the cauliflower over and continue to roast for an additional 8 minutes.
  7. While your cauliflower is roasting make the Romesco Sauce by combining all of the sauce in a mixing bowl without the olive oil.
  8. Using an Immersion Blender, mix together until fully combined.
  9. With the mixer running, add the olive oil in a slow stream until your creamy texture is created.
  10. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and serve with Romesco Sauce and torn parsley leaves.

Pro Tip:

If you do not have sherry vinegar available for the Romesco Sauce, you can substitute red wine vinegar in its place.
