Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 0.5 tsp crushed chili peppers
  • 0.5 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary
  • 0.25 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 wedges lemon
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the large head of cauliflower into 1-inch thick "steaks".
  2. 2On a baking sheet, toss the cauliflower steaks with olive oil, salt, white pepper, garlic powder, ground ginger, crushed chili peppers, thyme, and chopped fresh rosemary.
  3. 3Roast the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes, flipping once, until tender and golden brown.
  4. 4While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the drizzle: whisk together coconut milk, apple cider vinegar, and the juice from the two lemon wedges. Add a pinch of salt. If a thinner consistency is desired, add 1-2 tbsp of water.
  5. 5Serve the roasted cauliflower steaks immediately, generously drizzled with the lemon-coconut sauce.
  6. 6Garnish the finished dish with chopped fresh mint and pumpkin seeds for added flavor and crunch.
