Creating delicious Cauliflower Steaks with Marinara is a straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Remove the leaves from the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch thick slices to form “steaks.” You should be able to get about 2-3 steaks from each head, along with some florets.
3. Season the Steaks: Drizzle both sides of the cauliflower steaks with olive oil. Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika evenly over the steaks.
4. Roast the Cauliflower: Place the seasoned cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are tender and slightly browned.
5. Heat the Marinara Sauce: While the cauliflower is roasting, pour the marinara sauce into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally until warm.
6. Assemble the Dish: Once the cauliflower steaks are done, remove them from the oven. Spoon the warm marinara sauce generously over each steak.
7. Add Cheese (Optional): If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the marinara for added flavor.
8. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh basil leaves before serving for a pop of color and flavor.

These steps will guide you through creating your Cauliflower Steaks with Marinara effortlessly.
