# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Remove leaves from cauliflower and trim stem while keeping core intact. Slice each head into 1-inch-thick steaks, yielding 2 to 3 steaks per head. Reserve loose florets for alternative uses.
03 - Whisk together olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, lime zest, and lime juice in a small bowl.
04 - Place cauliflower steaks on prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides generously with chili-lime marinade.
05 - Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until golden and crisp-tender.
06 - While cauliflower roasts, combine avocado, sour cream, lime juice, minced garlic, cilantro, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, adding water one tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency.
07 - Arrange roasted cauliflower steaks on serving plates. Drizzle generously with avocado crema. Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and sliced jalapeño if desired.
