Thickly sliced slabs of seasoned cauliflower are roasted and served over a bed of mashed cauliflower, spinach, and pomegranate. The honey sriracha sauce caramelizes creating an amazing taste and texture. This flavorful dish is perfect as a vegetarian main dish or served alongside beef, chicken, or pork chops. The flavor is unbelievable.

Tip; Purchase a large head of cauliflower or two smaller heads. Half is used for the steaks and half is mashed. Cooking the garlic along with the cauliflower florets will remove the raw edge and make it tenderer.
