Cauliflower Steaks

These Cauliflower Steaks are a hearty and flavorful vegan side dish, perfect for grilling or roasting. Seasoned with a zesty blend of spices and served with a drizzle of tahini sauce, they offer a satisfying and nutritious alternative to traditional meat steaks.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 1 medium head (about 600g)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Tahini - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower head and trim the stem, then slice the cauliflower into 1.5 cm thick steaks.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with the olive oil mixture and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the steaks are golden brown and tender.
6. While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth.
7. Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle with the tahini sauce.
8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
