Ingredients
1 whole large cauliflower
2/3 cup (150g) tahini
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup lemon juice
3 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Olive oil or water, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove outer leaves of the cauliflower and trim the stem slightly, keeping the core intact.
- Slice cauliflower into thick steaks, about 1 to 1 ½ inches wide.
- Place steaks on prepared baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil or water.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
- While cauliflower cooks, prepare the tahini sauce by blending tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, sea salt, dill, and smoked paprika until smooth and creamy. Adjust with extra water if needed.
- Serve roasted cauliflower steaks warm, drizzled with tahini sauce.
Notes
Sprinkle cauliflower with cumin or curry powder before roasting for added flavor.
Top with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for brightness.
Add roasted chickpeas or toasted pine nuts for crunch and protein.
Store leftovers separately from sauce for best texture when reheating.
Tahini sauce may thicken in the fridge; stir in water before serving.
