Frequently Asked Questions

How to store and reheat leftovers?

Cauliflower steaks can be easily stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for about 4 days. To reheat, and although you can use the microwave, I would suggest popping them in the the oven for about 10 minutes.

Why is it called Cauliflower Steak?

I think this one is kind of like an inside joke. They are called cauliflower steaks because of the way they are cut into a steak-like shape.

Can I switch the steaks for cauliflower florets?

Sure you can! Although there is something charming in cauliflower steaks’ presentation, you can break your cauliflower into florets, line them on your baking sheet, then brush them with seasoning.
