Wow your tastebuds these Blueberry Balsamic Mint Cauliflower Steaks! Full of sweet and savory flavors, you won’t miss the meat! Vegan, Paleo and Whole 30!
I cannot get enough of cauliflower lately. I’ve been eating it almost 3-4 times per week! From cauliflower rice to roasted cauliflower to mashed cauliflower, I love it all. I thought I tried all the ways to make the most perfect veggie, until I saw cauliflower steaks popping up everywhere over the internet and of course I had to try ’em out for myself.
This month’s Recipe Redux theme could not come at a more perfect time!
Get Your Fruits and Veggies in Shape
With produce galore, now’s a great time to enjoy lots of fruits and vegetables. Show us how you’re serving the bounty of gardens and orchards in shapes like ribbons, noodles, cut-outs, or other creative cuts.
Cutting cauliflower into steaks is the next best thing since spiralized veggies . I’m not even vegetarian or vegan and I’m obsessed to say the least. These are my new favorite meatless Monday meal!
Cauliflower steaks can be marinated like regular steaks and grilled or cooked like them too. Who says cauliflower is only meant to be a side dish? Eating cauliflower in steak form will blow your mind, even if your a meat-eater!

This sounds so interesting! I love cauliflower, but have been avoiding it for awhile. It’s too hot right now! But once winter comes around I will be all over this. Pinning to try this in a few months.
