Ingredients
  

Cauliflower Steaks
  • 1 large cauliflower trim leaves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
Finish
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped
  • 2 tbsp tahini sauce optional drizzle

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Spatula
  • Tray
  • Freezer

Method
 

  1. Slice cauliflower through the core into thick steaks, keeping stems attached for stability.
  2. Brush both sides with oil and season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer for even roasting.
  4. Roast until centers turn tender and edges become browned and crisp.
  5. Plate carefully, then finish with parsley and tahini sauce for polished assembly.

Notes

Roast hotter for crispier edges or lower and slower for softer texture. Freeze cooked florets or broken pieces up to 1 month. Handle gently during assembly to keep steaks intact. Customize with curry spice, lemon zest, chimichurri, or chili flakes. Refrigerate leftovers 4 days.
