Cauliflower:
Preheat & Prepare:- Preheat your oven to 200°C.
Arrange the cauliflower “steaks” on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Reserve any extra florets to roast alongside.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and turmeric (if using).- Drizzle the seasoned oil over the cauliflower steaks and extra florets, ensuring they are evenly coated.- Place the 2 heads of garlic (with skins on) on the same baking sheet.
Roastin the preheated oven for about 25–30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender with a golden, crispy edge, and the garlic becomes soft and caramelized.
Hummus:
When the garlic is roasted, allow it to cool slightly, then squeeze out the soft cloves from their skins.- In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, roasted garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.- Blend until smooth, adding water gradually until the hummus reaches your preferred consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Garnish:
Spread a generous layer of the chickpea hummus onto a serving plate.- Carefully place the spiced cauliflower steaks on top of the hummus. -Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of chili oil for an extra kick.
Enjoy your vibrant and hearty dish as a main course or a flavorful side!
