Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare Cauliflower
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into 1-inch-thick slices. Keep the broken florets aside to roast.
3. Season Cauliflower
Place the cauliflower steaks and extra florets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush them lightly with olive oil and season generously with pink salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Add Bacon
Add the bacon slices to the same sheet, arranging them around the cauliflower.
5. Roast
Roast everything in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown and the bacon is crispy.
6. Serve
Transfer the roasted cauliflower steaks to plates. Drizzle each steak with the blue cheese dressing and crumble the crispy bacon on top. Serve immediately.
Instead of blue cheese, try a creamy goat cheese drizzle or a sharp aged cheddar sauce
While bacon offers a smoky, salty crunch, you can switch it up with prosciutto or pancetta for a different type of pork flavor, or even try turkey bacon for a lighter version
Introduce different herbs to the roasting process or the drizzle. Rosemary or thyme can add a woodsy note, while dill or tarragon can bring a bright, anise-like flavor
Infuse your caramelization process with a sprinkle of smoked paprika, cumin, or a pinch of curry powder for an earthy, warm twist. A dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes can add some heat if you like a little spice
Sprinkle toasted, chopped nuts like walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts over the finished dish for an added texture and a nutty flavor that contrasts nicely with the creaminess of the cheese and the sweetness of the cauliflower
