Step preview
- Break off any leaves around the cauliflower head and cut the stem of the cauliflower so it sits on the counter flat
- Be careful not to cut off any florets and to keep the head in tact
- In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and paprika
- Drizzle the marinade over the cauliflower head, using your hands to coat the entire head
- Place the trivet in the IP
- Pour water into the bottom of the Instant Pot
- Place the cauliflower head on top of the trivet
- Close and lock the lid and turn the steam release handle to Sealing
- Press the pressure cook button and set the IP to high pressure for five minutes
- While the cauliflower is cooking, whisk together the tamari, tahini, and agave in a small bowl
- If the ingredients need help incorporating, heat in the microwave for 20 seconds and continue to whisk until thickened and smooth
- After the timer is up, release the steam from the IP by turning the sealing valve to venting - full natural release
- Optional: you can place the cauliflower head on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and broil it for 2 – 5 minutes to crisp the outside
- This is not necessary but adds a darker color to the outside florets
- Plate the cauliflower head and drizzle with the tahini soy sauce
- Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and sesame seeds for garnish
- Cut into wedges and serve
