Cauliflower Steaks with Savory Filling and Melted Mozzarella
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem so the cauliflower can sit flat. Cut the cauliflower into thick steaks, approximately 3/4 inch thick. Depending on the size of the cauliflower, you should get about 2-4 steaks from one head.
Arrange the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet.
Season and Bake the Cauliflower Steaks:
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak with the oil and spice mixture.

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of each steak.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each steak and bake for another 15 minutes or until golden and tender.
Prepare the Filling:
While the cauliflower bakes, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and grated carrot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the carrot is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
If using tuna, stir it into the pan and mix well. Heat through for a couple of minutes, then remove from heat.
Assemble and Finish the Dish:
Once the cauliflower is tender, remove from the oven.
Top each steak with a portion of the onion, carrot, and tuna mixture.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each filled steak.
Place the baking sheet back into the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
