1. To toast the pepitas, preheat oven to 140°C fan forced. Place pepitas onto a baking sheet and toast in oven for approximately 4 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

2. To cook cauliflower, preheat oven to 180ºC fan forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add 2 cauliflower slices to pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden. Transfer to prepared tray. Season. Repeat with a further tablespoon of the oil and remaining cauliflower slices. Bake cauliflower for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Season.

3. Meanwhile, to create the gremolata combine pepitas, parsley, lemon rind, lemon juice, garlic and remaining oil in a bowl. Season.

4. Transfer cauliflower steaks to a platter. Serve topped with gremolata and extra parsley leaves.

Tip: If the cauliflower steaks are served as a main course, accompany them with some steamed green beans and balsamic dressed salad leaves.

Note: Cauliflower is so versatile and good for you. Enjoy it raw, roasted, grilled, deep-fried or even pickled. It’s an excellent source of vitamin C, dietary fibre, folate and is low in carbohydrates. Approximately 100g of cauliflower only has 100kJ!
