Cauliflower Piccata

This Cauliflower Piccata is a vibrant, plant-based twist on a classic Italian dish. With golden-roasted cauliflower steaks at the center, it’s infused with zesty lemon, briny capers, and a silky, savory sauce made with shallots, garlic, and vegetable stock. Light yet flavorful, this dish is perfect for an elegant dinner or a hearty weeknight meal. It delivers both comfort and nutrition with every bite—without sacrificing that satisfying, umami-rich character piccata is known for.
