Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 cauliflowers cut across into 1-inch steaks, with the stems trimmed (4-6 steaks)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional if you want a vegan dish

  • Shawarma Spice Mix
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon tumeric
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

  • Harissa Tahini Sauce
  • 1/4 cup tahini paste
  • 1 tablespoon harissa
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2-4 tablespoons water
  • Salt to taste

  • Garnish
  • Cilantro for garnish or sliced almonds, mint, currants, you name it!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Prep a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together all the spices. You probably won't need all of this mix, but it's tasty on everything!
  • Take the cauliflower steaks, and carefully coat them in olive oil and honey. Then sprinkle on both sides with a nice dose of the spice mixture. Place in a single layer on a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast the steaks for 15 minutes, then flip and roast for another 10 minutes or until steaks are tender and golden.
  • While they are cooking, whisk together your Harissa Tahini Sauce ingredients in a medium bowl or food processor with enough water to make it thick but drizzleble. Drizzle over warm cauliflower, garnish and eat!
