This cauliflower "steak" is so impressive, your meal will demand a steak knife! Prep work is simplified for this sheet-pan dinner with an herbed garlic oil that's used two ways: first it's mixed with panko and Parmesan for a crispy crust for the cauliflower, then tossed with beans and cherry tomatoes for a zesty side dish.

A few notes before you get started: In order to cut large, 1" steaks from a head of cauliflower, the center root must remain intact. To serve 4, use 2 large heads of cauliflower. You can roast any remaining cauliflower alongside the "steaks", or incorporate it into soup, salad, or another use. For a vegan version, swap in vegan mayonnaise for the regular mayonnaise.
