Introduce the recipe and ingredients.

Purchase a giant orange cauliflower from Wegman's.

Slice the cauliflower lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick slices, including the corn and leaves.

Chop off the bottom of the stem and remove excess bits of stem as needed.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

Smash 6 cloves of garlic (or use a whole head) by pressing down with a knife and peeling away the skin.

Use a mallet to smash garlic if preferred for ease.

Spray the roasting pan with olive oil spray before adding the cauliflower slices and garlic.

Spread the cauliflower and garlic into a nice even layer in the roasting pan.

Sprinkle spices over the cauliflower, including turmeric, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, to taste.

Roast the cauliflower without disturbing for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crisped up in spots.

After 10 minutes, check the cauliflower; it should smell divine.

Gather chives from the garden to replace parsley, as it's not available.

After 25 minutes, flip over larger cauliflower steaks and stir smaller pieces with a spatula.

Return the pan to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes until evenly brown.

Remove the cauliflower from the oven and sprinkle with feta cheese, checking if it's vegetarian-friendly.

Scissor the chives over the cauliflower.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish to finish.

Drizzle with fancy olive oil before serving.
