Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Gruyère

As a kid, I loved veggies. When we would go out to restaurants, I’d often order just a big plate of steamed veggies covered in Cheddar cheese. Ok, so the excessive amounts of melty cheese probably cancelled out any healthy benefits of all the veggies. But, I was a kid and it was delicious!

Yep, I’m still a veggie junkie, but, now I go a little lighter on the cheese. These roasted cauliflower steaks are an adult version of those steamed veggies swimming in cheese.
