Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower, sliced into thick steaks
  • 1 cup vegan yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons tandoori masala
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the cauliflower into thick steaks, about 1-inch thick.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the vegan yogurt, olive oil, tandoori masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, paprika, garlic powder, ginger powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Marinate the Cauliflower: Brush the cauliflower steaks generously with the marinade on both sides, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or longer for more flavor.
  4. Roast the Cauliflower: Place the marinated steaks on a lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges for a zesty finish.
