  4. Lay the cauliflower on the parchment lined baking sheet.Using half of the olive oil mixture, brush onto the steaks.  Place in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.  Remove from the oven and flip the steaks over.  Brush steaks with remaining olive oil and roast for about 20 more minutes, until they are golden brown on the edges.

Helpful hints

  • Change out the bun for a pita, croissant or sourdough.
  • Try different toppings such as sliced cucumber, sliced green pepper, or Dijon mustard.
