Pour 4 tsps olive oil into middle of shallow baking pan, coat both sides of each cauliflower steak with the oil. Season both sides with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper. Arrange cauliflower slices so there are a few inches between them and roast for 15 minutes till browned, turn and roast 10-15 minutes more or till tender. Serve topped with prepared salsa verde mixture and shaved parmesan.
