Why This Dish Is A Crowd Favorite

This dish combines the natural sweetness of roasted cauliflower with the crispiness of kale chips and a bright, refreshing citrus twist. It’s a healthy and flavorful way to enjoy vegetables, perfect for a light meal or a tasty side.

Tips For Better Flavor

- Roast the cauliflower until it’s golden brown for the best flavor and texture.
- Use fresh kale leaves and remove thick stems before baking to ensure even crispiness.
- Squeeze the citrus juice just before serving to keep the flavors vibrant and fresh.

Step 1

Gently heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the kale out on the sheet, drizzle it with a tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle over some Parmesan, red chili flakes, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Pop it in the oven and let it bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the kale is nice and crispy, then set it aside.

Step 2

While the kale is roasting, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Let it get a little golden and nutty, which should take about 5 minutes, then stir in the breadcrumbs and take the pan off the heat.

Step 3

Cut your cauliflower into thick slices about half an inch thick. Rub each piece with a tablespoon of olive oil and some chipotle seasoning. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the cauliflower steaks for about 2 minutes on each side until they’re nicely browned. Transfer them to the baking sheet and pop them in the oven for another 15 minutes until tender.

Step 4

To serve, arrange the cauliflower steaks on a platter, pile the crispy kale on top, and scatter some orange slices around. Whisk together the remaining olive oil and some vinegar, drizzle it over the oranges, and finish by sprinkling the toasted breadcrumbs over everything for a lovely crunch.

Best Serving Ideas

Serve this dish alongside grilled chicken or fish for a balanced meal. It also works well as part of a vegetarian platter with quinoa or brown rice. Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the kale chips separate to maintain their crispiness. Reheat the cauliflower gently in the oven to avoid sogginess.
