Kerith's Miso Maple Cauliflower Steaks

Ingredients

Serves = 4

1 small or ½ large head of cauliflower

1 teaspoon of miso paste

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 tablespoons soy sauce, salt reduced

1 tablespoon olive oil

It’s this easy

1. Slice the cauliflower in half, then cut four “steaks” or slices about 1.5–2cm thick from the centre. (Save the leftover florets for another dish like a stir-fry or curry.)

2. In a small bowl, mix together the miso, maple syrup and soy sauce until smooth.

3. Heat the olive oil in a large fry pan over medium heat.

4. Add the cauliflower steaks and cook until they’re golden on one side.

5. Flip and cook the other side until lightly golden and just tender.

6. Pour over the maple miso glaze and coat the steaks well. Let them cook for another minute or two until glossy and slightly sticky.

7. Serve warm with your choice of salad, veggies, or pair with steamed rice and a quick stir-fry for a fuller meal.

Tweaks

  • Serve with our Quick microwaved side of greens or Spiced pumpkin with yoghurt dipping sauce to make this a hearty meal
  • Instead of pan frying, you could roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 180°C, flipping halfway. Add the glaze in the last 5 minutes.
  • Instead of maple syrup you could use honey or brown sugar
  • Add a pinch of chilli flakes or sriracha for a sweet & spicy glaze

What is healthy eating?

Eating healthy is making sure you enjoy a wide variety of foods from each of the five major food groups daily, in the amounts recommended. The five major food groups as recommended by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating are:

  1. vegetables and legumes/bean
  2. fruit
  3. lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, legumes/beans
  4. grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties
  5. milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.

Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of key nutrients and eating a variety of foods from the list above helps to promote good health and reduce the risk of disease.

How do I improve my diet?

If you want to improve your diet you have come to the right place. By completing the Healthy Eating Quiz you’ll receive instant personalised feedback and a report on your diet quality to highlight any areas where you can improve your overall eating habits.

Is my diet healthy?

Dietary habits are different between people. Some people choose to follow a particular diet (i.e., Keto diet or vegan diet) while some have to make changes due to certain food restrictions or health conditions. If you want to know if what you usually eat is healthy, then do the Healthy Eating Quiz today to give you the answers in less than 10 minutes.

Why is healthy eating important?

Your HEQ score and personalised feedback report is based on the frequency and variety of healthy core foods you usually eat. This is important because no single food contains all the nutrients we need to stay healthy. Some foods are higher in nutrients than others and people who have a lot of variety in the foods they eat are more likely to be healthy and to stay healthy. In other words, if you can eat a large variety of vegetables as opposed to only 2-3 types of vegetables, the benefits are much greater. This type of diet also helps you to feel better, think better and perform better during your usual daily activities.
