Ingredients
1 large head of cauliflower
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon curry powder
Parmesan cheese (to taste)
- Tahini Ingredients
1 cup sesame seeds
Olive oil (to taste)
Salt (to taste)
Directions
- Roasted Cauliflower Stakes
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Slice the cauliflower into thick, steak-like pieces.
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, paprika and curry powder to make a flavoursome marinade.
- Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking tray and brush each one generously with the marinade. Make sure they are well coated.
- For an extra layer of deliciousness, sprinkle the cauliflower steaks with Parmesan cheese. The cheese will melt and form a savoury crust during baking.
- Bake the cauliflower steaks for 20-25 minutes or until tender and golden brown.
- Tahini Instructions
- In a frying pan, toast the sesame seeds over a medium heat until they are fragrant and lightly golden. Keep stirring to avoid burning.
- Transfer the toasted sesame seeds to a bowl.
- Pour a generous amount of olive oil over the sesame seeds. The oil will bind the seeds together and create a creamy consistency.
- Add salt to taste. Tahini should strike a balance between nutty and salty.
- Using a hand blender, blend the sesame seeds and olive oil to a smooth paste. Adjust the consistency by adding more olive oil if necessary.
- Arrange the cauliflower steaks on a plate. Just before serving, drizzle the tahini sauce over the cauliflower steaks to ensure they are moist and flavorful.
