Roasted Cauliflower Steak Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cauliflower Steak

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into thick slices (steaks) about 1-inch thick. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin.

2. 2

   Roast the Cauliflower

   Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

3. 3

   Make the Zhoug Sauce

   While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the zhoug sauce. In a food processor, combine cilantro, parsley, green chili, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if needed to reach the desired consistency.

4. 4

   Prepare the Spiced Carrot Puree

   Peel and chop the carrots. In a pot, heat olive oil, add the carrots, cumin, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, then add vegetable broth. Cook until carrots are tender, about 15 minutes. Blend until smooth.

5. 5

   Serve

   Plate the roasted cauliflower steak and serve with a generous drizzle of zhoug sauce and a dollop of spiced carrot puree on the side.
