Cauliflower steak sandwich is saucy, spicy and satisfying. It makes the perfect vegan lunch or dinner! If you’re feeling like a “get your hands dirty” type of meal, this should be top of the list.
These oven-roasted cauliflower steaks make the best prego “steaks” due to their simple flavor that works well with the prego sauce of your choice.
While they’re roasting, make a side dish! I suggest a simple salad or air fryer potato wedges!
Instructions for these easy vegan cauliflower steak sandwiches:
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)
Slice your cauliflower head into about 1.5cm (0.6 inch) “steaks”. Leaving the large stem on the bottom so they maintain their shape. Keep the extra cauliflower florets for another use.
Place on a baking tray and rub the “steaks” with oil, prego sauce and a grind of salt and pepper.
Place them in the oven for 30 minutes, gently turning them once to brown both sides evenly.
Serve the “steaks” on Portuguese rolls with some more sauce!
