2 Remove outer leaves from the cauliflower heads. Cut them in half from top to bottom, separating the stems in half. Trim off outer rounded edges of each piece to create 2 ½ cm /1” thick steaks.
3 Place steaks and any extra cauliflower pieces on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, paprika. Roast until stems are tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
4 Sauté onion in olive oil for 2-3 minutes; add garlic and continue sautéing for another 30 seconds.
5 Add quinoa, stock and salt to pan; bring to boil then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
6 Top roasted cauliflower steaks with pesto and serve with quinoa.

- Feel free to use water instead of stock to cook the quinoa, or half and half also works
- The excess cauliflower florets you roast make a great snack or addition to a salad
- Any leftover pesto can be frozen for several months
