How to Make Honey-Roasted Harissa Cauliflower Steaks

Total time: 45 min · Yields 2 servings

1. 1

   Prepare the Cauliflower

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower. Slice the head vertically through the center into 2-cm thick steaks, keeping the core intact so the slices stay together.

2. 2

   Whisk the Marinade

   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, harissa paste, honey, cumin, and salt until a smooth emulsion forms.

3. 3

   Season and Roast

   Place cauliflower steaks on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush both sides generously with the harissa mixture. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are charred and the core is tender.

4. 4

   Make the Sauce

   While the cauliflower roasts, whisk the tahini, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Slowly add warm water one tablespoon at a time until the sauce reaches a pourable, creamy consistency.

5. 5

   Drizzle and Serve

   Transfer the hot cauliflower steaks to a serving platter. Drizzle with the tahini sauce and top with pomegranate seeds, pine nuts, and fresh cilantro.
