Spicy Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Capers

· By Emily Tyler · From pages 16, 17 of the print edition

I love how the cauliflower takes on these bold flavors and the salty tart addition of capers balances the hot, sweet spice rub. I served the cauliflower over mashed potatoes with some crumbled goat cheese for a fabulous vegetarian dinner.
