Ingredients
Scale
1 large head of cauliflower
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
For the Tahini Sauce:
1/2 cup tahini
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt, to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the cauliflower. Remove the outer leaves.
Carefully slice the cauliflower head into 1-inch thick “steaks” from the center. You may get 2-3 good steaks, and the rest can be florets.
Arrange the cauliflower steaks and florets on a baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, water, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
Serve the roasted cauliflower steaks and florets drizzled with the tahini sauce.
Notes
If the cauliflower steaks start to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent them with foil.
Feel free to add other spices to the cauliflower before roasting, such as paprika or cumin.
For a different flavor profile, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the tahini sauce.
