Step 2Cutting: Remove any excess green leaves. Place the cauliflower on a cutting board, stem side up. Using a sharp knife, cut it into slices, about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick. You should get 2-3 "steaks" from each cauliflower, plus free florets. This recipe uses just the "steaks", and then use the florets as well.
Note: You'll need 1.2 kg (2.65 lbs) of cauliflower to get about 600 g (1.3 lbs) cauliflower steaks, plus free florets.
Step 3Seasoning: Prepare all the spices you'll be using in this recipe (see recipe tips above for flavor variations). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, and your choice of spices.
Step 4Marinating. Brush this mixture over both sides of the cauliflower steaks. Optionally, leave to matinate for 1 to 2 hours.
Step 5Cooking: You can either roast the cauliflower steaks in the oven at 220 °C/ 430 °F (fan assisted), or 240 °C/ 465 °F (conventional), for 20 to 25 minutes, turning the tray half way, or grill them over medium heat for about 10 minutes, flipping them half way. Either way, you'll end up with a delicious, tender cauliflower steak that's beautifully caramelized.
Step 6Serve: Optionally, drizzle with some Tahini Dressing. Eat warm or let it cool down and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving.
