These flavor-packed Za’atar Crusted Cauliflower Steaks are the ultimate vegetarian entree or side dish recipe!
Cauliflower season is in full force right now which means they are cheap, easy to find and HUGE! If you’ve never tried making cauliflower steaks at home, I think you should start. Now.
Since we all know I always have za’atar on hand, I couldn’t resist giving these beauties a Lebanese spin. Made with thyme, sumac, sesame seeds and other spices, za’atar is my favorite all-purpose spice for salads, baked pita chips, grilled meats and more.
Delicious as a side dish but meaty enough for a vegetarian main dish, these Za’atar Crusted Cauliflower Steaks are going to be a huge family favorite. For an added kick, try dipping them in my tahini lemon sauce.
Your fork is waiting.
