Cauliflower Steaks with Spices and Maple Syrup

Ingredients-

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 1 ½ teaspoons olive or coconut oil
• Sea salt to taste

For the tempering-

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• ½ teaspoon brown mustard seeds
• ½ teaspoon Spanish paprika
• 1 teaspoon amber pure maple syrup
• Pinch of sea salt

To make the Cauliflower Steaks with Spices and Maple Syrup-

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Wash and dry the cauliflower. Remove the outer leaves and trim the stem. With the cauliflower upright on the stem end, cut 4 to 5 vertical steaks, depending on the size of the cauliflower.
3. Brush it with the olive or coconut oil and sprinkle with salt.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes or until the cauliflower is roasted and the edges look crisp.
5. Heat the oil in a small pan for the tempering. Add the mustard seeds. When they start to splutter, remove from heat and add paprika. Add the maple syrup and stir.
6. Remove the roasted cauliflower to a serving platter. Brush the steaks with the tempering mixture and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
7. Serve with a raita like  the Destination Spa Salad or the Peanut Butter Crunch Raita.
