- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions

- Brush both sides of the cauliflower with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the parmesan cheese, cottage cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until combined.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top of each cauliflower steak.
