About 5 min
2
Carefully slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick 'steaks' by cutting straight through the core.

Cook’s note: You should get 2-3 good steaks from the center; the remaining florets can be roasted alongside or saved for another recipe.
3
Arrange the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet.
About 1 min
4
Drizzle both sides of the cauliflower steaks with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Use your hands to ensure the seasonings are well distributed.
5
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
About 15 min
6
While the cauliflower roasts, combine the softened vegan butter, fresh parsley, fresh chives, and lemon juice in a small bowl to make the herb butter.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the butter is truly soft for easy mixing.
7
Flip the cauliflower steaks and continue roasting for another 10 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
About 10 min
8
Remove the cauliflower steaks from the oven and immediately top each with a dollop of the prepared herb butter.
