Whole Roasted Cauliflower is perfect as a vegan main course along with high protein side dishes. You can also slice into cauliflower steaks for individual portions.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking dish or sheet pan for roasting the cauliflower and set aside.
Remove the leaves from the bottom of the cauliflower and then clean the cauliflower.
Melt vegan butter, and stir together with the crushed garlic, avocado oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Brush the herbed butter over the head of cauliflower and then roast.
Roast the cauliflower for 40 minutes covered with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Then spoon some of the bottom juices over the top of the cauliflower. Bake for another 10 minutes uncovered to roast the outside of the cauliflower.
Once the cauliflower is fully cooked you can remove it from the oven and baste with the remaining garlic butter before serving.
Notes
We recommend choosing a small-medium cauliflower for the best results.
By crushing the garlic and cooking with the butter it creates a rich garlic flavor.
If you don’t have Italian seasonings, you can use a few shakes of dried parsley, basil, and oregano or play around with your favorite spices.
