Anticipated FAQs

  • Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of sun-dried? While sun-dried tomatoes provide a distinct flavor, fresh cherry tomatoes can be used as an alternative. However, the sauce's taste and texture will differ.
  • How should I store leftovers? Keep the cauliflower steaks and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving.
