• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp chilli powder

Satay Sauce 

• 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
• 1 tbsp red curry paste
• 3 tsp sweet soy sauce

Method

Cauliflower steaks

1. To make the roasted cauliflower steaks, preheat your pizza oven to 200C and grease a baking dish with olive oil.
2. Slice cauliflower heads into 2.5cm thick steaks.
3. Arrange in a single layer on the baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
4. Sprinkle over garlic powder, onion powder and chilli powder and massage using your hands.
5. Bake in oven for 15 minutes then flip carefully, cooking for a further 10 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Satay Sauce

1. To make the satay sauce, mix all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium low heat.
2. Bring to simmer then cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly so the bottom doesn't catch, until it thickens. If too thick, just add more water.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning.

To Serve

1. To finish, plate up your cauliflower steaks, drizzle with a generous amount of satay sauce and top with peanuts, fried shallots, coriander and spring onion.
