Ingredients

  • 2 large heads of cauliflower
  • 3 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup premium tahini
  • 1 lemon (juiced and zested)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro
  • flaky sea salt to taste

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick steaks, keeping the core intact so they hold their shape.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, and two tablespoons of olive oil.
4
Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks generously with the harissa mixture and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until the edges are caramelized and the center is fork-tender.
6
While roasting, prepare the sauce by whisking the tahini, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, and two tablespoons of warm water until smooth and airy.
7
To serve, smear a generous spoonful of whipped tahini on a plate, top with a hot cauliflower steak, and garnish with a scattering of toasted pine nuts and fresh cilantro.
