Ingredients

  • 2 large heads cauliflower cut into 1-inch thick steaks
  • 3 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup premium tahini
  • 1 large lemon juiced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, olive oil, and smoked paprika until a smooth glaze forms.
3
Arrange the cauliflower steaks on the sheet, brush generously on both sides with the glaze, and season with salt.
4
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until the edges are caramelized and charred while the center remains tender.
5
While roasting, prepare the whipped tahini by blending the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and ice water in a bowl; whisk vigorously until the mixture turns pale, fluffy, and smooth.
6
To serve, spread a thick swipe of the whipped tahini onto a plate, top with a hot cauliflower steak, and garnish with toasted pine nuts and fresh cilantro for an aromatic finish.
