French Onion Cauliflower Steaks
One of the most impressive cauliflower dishes you’ll ever eat - these French onion cauliflower steaks are crisp on the outside, butter-soft in the middle and draped with softly-caramelised onions under a creamy layer of melted cheese. The best part is that it’s startlingly simple to throw together!
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 4-5 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper as per your preference
- 2-3 onions
- 1-1½ tbsp balsamic vinegar
- ½-1 cup grated cheese of your choice
Instructions
To prep the cauliflower
- Slice the cauliflower lengthwise into “steak”-like pieces with 1” thickness
- Brush/ drizzle both sides with olive oil
- Season with salt and pepper
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180C for 25-30 minutes until crispy and charred on the outside but soft in the middle
For the caramelised onions
- Slice 2-3 onions lengthwise
- Heat a generous glug of olive oil. Cook the onions until they are soft and they start to brown. Be careful not to burn them
- Stir in 1-1.5 tbsp balsamic vinegar + pepper. Remove the caramelised onions from heat and set aside
For the French onion cauliflower steaks
- Spoon the caramelised onions over the steaks
- Grate your favourite cheese on top (traditionally gruyere is used, but honestly good ole Amul tastes just as good!)
- Bake again until the cheese has melted
- Serve hot & DIVE IN!
