Ingredients

Cauliflower Steaks

1 large cauliflower sliced into 1-inch thick steaks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Mediterranean Quinoa Salad

1 cup quinoa rinsed
2 cups water
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 medium cucumber diced
1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
1/4 cup kalamata olives sliced
1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 In a small bowl, mix olive oil, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture over both sides of the cauliflower steaks.
3 Place the cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
4 While the cauliflower is roasting, cook the quinoa. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil, add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
5 Remove quinoa from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
6 In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
7 In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour over the quinoa salad and toss to combine.
8 Serve the roasted cauliflower steaks alongside the Mediterranean quinoa salad. Enjoy!
