    These roasted cauliflower steaks are so delicious and so simple to prepare. Eating a vegan diet on occasion will improve your health overall. This dish has just ten good for you ingredients, but the flavors taste so complex and satisfying, you'll want to make this on a regular basis.

    Vegetarian dishes are some of my favorite foods. What I love about this Roasted Cauliflower Steaks recipe is that you can get these vegetables year round, and quinoa is so healthy. Add this to your dinner recipes!

    We served the cauliflower steaks over a mix of quinoa and brown rice pilaf, delivering plenty of fiber and flavor.

    This is a delicious recipe to serve as an entree, or you could serve it as a side with chicken or seafood. We eat this during the Daniel Fast as it's vegan

    What You Need to Make It

    To make these Cauliflower Steaks and accompanying rice pilaf, you'll need Cauliflower, olive oil, quinoa, brown rice, radicchio, kale, parsley, unsweetened cranberries, raw cashews, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper.

    Roast in oven 15 minutes.  Turn with tongs and roast an additional 5 minutes. Edges should be slightly brown.

    In the meantime, cook the quinoa (and/or brown rice) according to package.  

    While still hot, place pilaf in a large bowl and add all ingredients.  

    Mix with wooden spoon just to incorporate all the flavors. The heat of the quinoa will wilt the radicchio and kale and soften the cranberries perfectly.

    When the cauliflower is done, serve immediately over the pilaf or to the side.
