Ingredients

For the cauliflower:

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 12 oz cauliflower florets
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp onion salt
  • ¼ tsp galic powder
  • 3 Tbsp cilantro, minced
  • 3 Tbsp parsley, minced
  • 3 Tbsp green onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup mozzarella, freshly grated
  • 1 15 oz can garbanzo beans, drained

For the tahini sauce:

  • ¼ cup Vegenaise
  • ⅓ cup tahini
  • 4 Tbsp water
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2-3 tsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • Dash smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

Everything else:

  • 5-6 flatbreads
  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • 5-6 Tbsp mozzarella, for sprinkling
  • Chèvre or feta, optional

Instructions

Roast the cauliflower

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place the cauliflower, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and onion salt on a standard-sized baking sheet. Toss everything together with your hands until the cauliflower is evenly coated with seasonings.
  • Roast at 375 degrees for 12 minutes, then flip the cauliflower and roast for an additional 7 minutes.

Add the herbs, cheese, and garbanzo beans

  • Once the cauliflower finishes roasting, let the florets cool for 10 minutes, then add the cilantro, parsley, green onion, drained garbanzo beans, and mozzarella.

Make the tahini sauce

  • While you roast the cauliflower and wait for it to cool, make the tahini sauce.
  • To a small mixing bowl, add the garlic, tahini, Vegenaise, lemon juice, maple syrup, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Stir a few times, then add the water and whisk until the sauce is smooth.

Add some tahini sauce to the cauliflower

  • Add ¼ cup of the tahini sauce to the cauliflower mixture, and mix until it’s completely incorporated.
  • Set the rest of the tahini sauce aside.

Compile the flatbreads

  • Keep the oven at 375 degrees.
  • Lay the flatbreads out on a standard sized baking sheet, and brush them with a little bit of olive oil.
  • Now put 1 Tbsp of tahini sauce on top of each flatbread, and spread the tahini sauce out evenly on each flatbread with an offset spatula.
  • Next, evenly distribute the cauliflower mixture over the top of each flatbread.
  • Now sprinkle 1 Tbsp of mozzarella over each flatbread.
  • If using chèvre or feta, sprinkle about 1-2 tsp over each flatbread.

Bake the flatbreads

  • Bake the flatbreads at 375 degrees for 13 minutes, until the cheese is slightly browned.
  • My favorite baking method: I prefer to bake the flatbreads for 10 minutes, then broil them for 3 minutes until the cheese is slightly browned. If you do this, be sure to keep an eye on the flatbreads. You many not need to broil them for a full three minutes.

Serve and enjoy!

  • Take the flatbreads out of the oven, and let them cool for 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy these Tahini Cauliflower Flatbreads as an appetizer, or as a light meal with greens.
