For the Steaks

  • 2 heads Garlic roasted
  • 5 tablespoons Olive Oil or avocado oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika or regular paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder optional if using fresh garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin or coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric optional
For the Hummus
  • 400 g Chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 4 tablespoons Tahini or peanut butter
  • 1 lemon Lemon Juice from 1 lemon
  • Water as needed for consistency
  • Fresh Parsley chopped for garnish
  • Chili Oil for drizzling

Equipment

  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • Blender
  • Mixing bowl
  • parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut cauliflower into 1-inch thick steaks. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Mix olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and turmeric in a bowl, then brush over cauliflower steaks. Add garlic heads for roasting.
  2. Roast cauliflower in the oven for 25-30 minutes until tender and golden brown with crispy edges. Remove garlic when it becomes sweet and caramelized.
  3. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into a blender. Add chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, gradually adding water for desired consistency.
  4. Spread hummus on a serving plate, then place roasted cauliflower steaks on top. Garnish with chopped parsley and drizzle with chili oil.
  5. Serve the dish as a main course or side, pairing with quinoa, rice, or salad.

Notes

Use a large, firm cauliflower for cleaner slices. Consider roasting extra garlic for use in other meals. Blend in ice-cold water for smoother hummus. Add crunchy toppings like pine nuts or sesame seeds for texture. For spice, add cayenne or red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
