Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cauliflower Steaks:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem slightly, keeping the head intact.
Slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick steaks. You should get about 2-3 full steaks; the smaller florets can be roasted separately.
2. Season and Roast:
Place the cauliflower steaks on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Brush the mixture generously on both sides of the cauliflower steaks.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and tender.
3. Make the Tahini Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and water. Adjust the water for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Serve:
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the roasted cauliflower steaks.
Garnish with pomegranate seeds, chopped parsley, and toasted pine nuts for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful dish as a main course or a hearty side!
