Healthy Side Dish Recipes Healthy Vegetable Side Dish Recipes Healthy Cauliflower Side Dish Recipes Healthy Roasted Cauliflower Recipes Cauliflower Parmesan 5.0 (1) 1 Review This vegetarian version of chicken Parmesan uses cauliflower "steaks" in place of chicken, and has all the classic comforting flavors, without the meat! The steaks are cooked until just tender and topped with a rich sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. Despite their names, classic Italian-American chicken Parm and eggplant Parm don't always contain Parmesan cheese. If it's not “Parm” to you without Parm, feel free to sprinkle on a little grated Parmesan after you add the sauce to the cauliflower cutlets.

Preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Place cauliflower on a cutting board, stem-side down. Using a large chef's knife and starting from the center of the head, cut four 1-inch "steaks." Place the steaks on the prepared baking sheet; lightly coat them with cooking spray, then sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast until browned and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven; turn broiler to high. Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring, until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, wine, Italian seasoning and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Top each cauliflower steak with about 1/3 cup of the sauce and 1/4 cup cheese. Broil until the cheese has melted and browned in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
