Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Cilantro Tahini Dressing

These healthy oven Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Cilantro Tahini Dressing are an easy meal or side dish. 

These Roasted Cauliflower Steaks are a meal in and of itself. Roasted cauliflower goes with many different flavors, but one of my favorite ways to eat it is with tahini dressing.

The added cilantro adds a bright herby taste. I roasted the cauliflower with basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Roasted cauliflower is probably my favorite way to prepare it. Sure it’s also good mashed, riced, and made into an Alfredo sauce, but there’s just something about roasted cauliflower that I can’t get enough of.

That’s one of the reasons I found myself eating two cauliflower steaks in one sitting. It’s so good!

I’ve also made roasted cauliflower into a sandwich.

Tips For Making Roasted Cauliflower Steaks

• A head of cauliflower will only yield about two cauliflower steaks before they start to fall apart. You can always roast the small pieces with the cauliflower steaks, just check on them at about half way through the cooking process. They will roast faster since they’re smaller.
• Place cauliflower steaks on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Brush olive oil on steaks.
• Sprinkle seasonings on each cauliflower steak.
• Make the cilantro tahini dressing the day before. It not only tastes better the next day, but it will thicken up a little bit.
• Measure the cilantro after chopping for better accuracy.
