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
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
  • 1 tbsp fresh pomegranate seeds
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, olive oil, and sea salt until emulsified.
3
Arrange the cauliflower steaks on the baking sheet and brush both sides generously with the harissa-honey glaze.
4
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are caramelized and charred while the center remains tender.
5
While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the whipped tahini by combining tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and 2–3 tablespoons of ice-cold water in a bowl, whisking 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, fresh pomegranate seeds, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
