From the Test Kitchen

This veggie-packed dish features hearty cauliflower steaks (roasted in a coating of spicy chipotle paste) served over an irresistibly creamy layer of mashed black beans studded with sweet peppers, onion, and garlic. It’s all topped with a vibrant salsa of juicy tomatoes and crisp radishes, plus a drizzle of tangy lemon yogurt.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of water, and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Remove the leaves of the cauliflower or romanesco; cut lengthwise through the stem into 1-inch-thick steaks (keeping them as intact as possible). Place on a sheet pan. Using a spoon, evenly top with the chile paste mixture; season with salt and pepper. Roast 25 to 27 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
