Instructions
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Trim the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, keeping the core intact. Cut the head vertically into two thick 'steaks', about 3-4 cm each. You can roast any leftover florets alongside.
- 2.In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Brush this spice mixture evenly over all sides of the cauliflower steaks.
- 3.Place the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping once, until tender and golden-brown at the edges.
- 4.While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the sauce. In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, tahini, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth, adding a tablespoon or two of water to reach a pourable consistency.
- 5.Stir the chopped fresh mint and parsley into the sauce and season with a pinch of salt.
- 6.Serve the roasted cauliflower steaks immediately, generously drizzled with the herbed tahini yogurt sauce and garnished with a sprinkle of fresh pomegranate seeds.
