Cutting a head of cauliflower into thicky cut steaks turns the simple vegetable into an impressive-looking vegetarian main course. Though it makes a great entree, it would be just as lovely served as a side dish alongside chicken or lamb kebabs. Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that loves to be doused with just about every seasoning there is, and za’atar, a middle eastern spice blend made with herbs, sumac, and sesame seeds, doesn’t disappoint. Take care when turning the steaks over to be sure to keep the florets intact.

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Uncooked cauliflower
