Cauliflower Steaks Recipe

This is hands down the most satisfying way to eat cauliflower. Just before these cauliflower steaks are ready to come out of the oven, you cover them in salty parmesan cheese, creamy pine nuts, and lemon juice. You could easily make this as a simple vegetarian main dish or serve it as a side dish with a classic steak.
