Ingredients

  • 2 large heads of cauliflower
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp chili crisp oil
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem, then slice the heads vertically into 1-inch thick 'steaks'.

Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam and turn a nutty golden brown.
5
Whisk in the miso paste, maple syrup, and rice vinegar until smooth.
6
Brush the miso-butter generously over both sides of the cauliflower steaks and season lightly with salt.
7
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are deeply caramelized and the centers are tender.

Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with chili crisp oil.
9
Garnish generously with toasted sesame seeds and fresh scallions before serving hot.
