Ingredients
For the Roasted Cauliflower Steaks:
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Cherry and Pea Relish:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas, thawed

Instructions
1. Prepare the Cauliflower Steaks:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem, keeping the core intact. Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch thick slices to create "steaks."
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush the cauliflower steaks with the seasoned oil mixture on both sides.
- Place the cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
2. Prepare the Cherry and Pea Relish:
In a medium bowl, combine the peas, cherries, red onion, jalapeño, fresh cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
3. Assemble the Dish:
Place the roasted cauliflower steaks on serving plates. Spoon the cherry and pea relish over the top of each steak.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
