# How-To Steps:

02 - Place cabbage steaks on prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides generously with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
03 - Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until edges are golden brown and centers are tender.
04 - While cabbage roasts, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until smooth and pourable.
05 - Transfer roasted cabbage steaks to serving platter. Drizzle generously with tahini sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley, toasted sesame seeds, and lemon wedges. Serve warm.
