Ingredients
-
2 medium heads cauliflower
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ cup chopped shallot
-
1 (11 ounce) package baby spinach
-
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
-
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
-
1 clove garlic, grated
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
½ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
-
6 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
-
½ cup shredded smoked Cheddar cheese
Directions
-
Arrange racks in middle and upper third of oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
-
Remove any outer leaves from cauliflower, but keep stems intact. Place on a cutting board, stem-side down. Using a large chef's knife, cut two 1-inch-thick slices from the center of each head to make 4 cauliflower "steaks." (Reserve remaining cauliflower for another use.) Place the steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with salt.
-
Roast, turning halfway through, until the cauliflower steaks are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 1 minute. Add spinach in batches and cook, stirring, until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in dill, parsley, garlic and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Transfer the spinach mixture to a large mixing bowl. Stir in ricotta and feta.
-
Turn the broiler to high. Top each cauliflower steak with 1/2 cup of the spinach mixture and 2 tablespoons Cheddar. Broil the cauliflower until the cheese melts and starts to lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
