Follow these easy steps to create your own cauliflower steak topped with pesto:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting.
2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Remove the leaves from the cauliflower. Slice the cauliflower lengthwise into thick “steaks,” being careful to keep the slices intact.
3. Season the Steaks: Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Roast the Cauliflower: Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown.
5. Add the Pesto: Once the steaks are roasted, remove them from the oven and generously top each one with pesto.
6. Garnish and Serve: If desired, add cherry tomatoes for a burst of color and flavor. Serve the cauliflower steaks warm.
