Ingredients

2 large heads of cauliflower cut into 1-inch thick steaks
3 tbsp white miso paste
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
2 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 cup toasted pepitas
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime halved

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, avocado oil, rice vinegar, and smoked paprika until smooth.

Arrange the cauliflower steaks on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.

Brush both sides of each steak generously with the miso-maple glaze.

Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are deeply caramelized and tender.

Remove from the oven and immediately top with toasted pepitas, fresh cilantro, and a vibrant squeeze of lime juice to cut through the richness.

Serve hot alongside your favorite grain or as a standalone plant-forward showstopper.
