Tips for the best creamy cauliflower steaks

- Cook them to your liking. Whether you like it soft, lightly browned, or crispy, you can cook these cauliflower steaks as much or as little as you like.
- Make sure they don’t burn. Keep an eye on the cauliflower, as it can brown quickly and burn easily. When they start to brown, they’re done.
- Cut the steaks thick. Since these should look like steaks, cut them on the thick side. This will also prevent them from falling apart during cooking.
