Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
-
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the cauliflower head into thick slices, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick, to mimic the size and shape of a traditional pork roast.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, liquid smoke, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.
-
Place the cauliflower slices in the prepared baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let the cauliflower marinate for at least 30 minutes.
-
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, basting the roast with the marinade every 15 minutes.
-
Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cauliflower develops a slightly caramelized crust.
-
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
