INGREDIENTS
400g Cauliflower
1 cup Canned Chickpeas (240g)
1 tbsp Harissa Paste
1 tbsp Tahini
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Mint)
1 clove Garlic
0.5 scoop Whey Protein Isolate
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Slice the cauliflower into thick 'steaks' by cutting vertically. Reserve extra florets for roasting if desired.
In a bowl, toss the cauliflower steaks with 1 tablespoon of harissa paste, a drizzle of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Place the cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway until tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Pat dry and toss them with a pinch of salt, a little extra harissa if you like more spice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Spread them on another baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes until crispy.
For the creamy herb tahini sauce, combine tahini, lemon juice, chopped fresh herbs, a small splash of water to adjust consistency, and salt & pepper. Blend until smooth.
Once the cauliflower and chickpeas are roasted, remove them from the oven. While still warm, sprinkle in the whey protein isolate over the vegetable base; lightly stir into the tahini sauce to incorporate the protein boost without affecting the texture significantly.
Plate the roasted cauliflower steaks, spoon over the creamy herb tahini sauce, and top with crispy chickpeas. Garnish with additional herbs if desired and serve immediately.
