Preheat the oven to 400F.

Trim the stem of the cauliflower and remove the green leaves.

Place the cauliflower right side up on a cutting board. Using a large knife cut the cauliflower in half.

From each half cut a 1 inch thick slice. If the cauliflower is very large you may be able to cut 1 or 2 more slices. *(Along with the slices of “steak” you will have lots of flowerettes left over. You can roast these along with the steaks or save them to use in other recipes.)

Mix minced garlic with the olive oil in a small bowl.

Arrange the cauliflower slices on a baking sheet and brush generously on both sides with the olive oil garlic mixture.

Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with crushed red pepper.

Bake for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes carefully flip the cauliflower steaks over and brush with more garlic oil.

Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the steaks.

Return to the oven for 25 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the edges of the cauliflower are brown.
