INGREDIENTS
1 medium head Cauliflower (≈350g)
200g Extra Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Chickpea Flour (≈30g)
2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds (≈18g)
1 tablespoon White Miso Paste (≈17g)
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger (grated, ≈2g)
1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick steaks, keeping as much of the core intact as possible for structural support.
Press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes. Set aside to incorporate later as a protein boost.
Prepare the batter by whisking together the chickpea flour with a splash of water until you achieve a smooth, thick consistency. This batter will help the sesame seeds adhere to the cauliflower.
Lightly brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with a small amount of water or oil. Dip each steak into the chickpea flour batter, then press both sides into the sesame seeds ensuring an even coat.
Place the coated steaks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the exterior is crispy and the cauliflower is tender.
While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the ginger-miso sauce. In a small bowl, mix the white miso paste with the grated ginger, rice vinegar, and maple syrup. Thin with a teaspoon of water if necessary.
Gently toss the tofu cubes with a little salt and a few extra sesame seeds if desired. For an optional protein and texture boost, you can warm the tofu in a pan with a light spray of oil for 3-4 minutes until slightly golden.
To serve, plate the roasted cauliflower steak, top with the tofu cubes, and drizzle generously with the ginger-miso sauce. Enjoy while warm for optimal flavor and texture.
