Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Warm water
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut the cauliflower into florets and spread them out on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the florets are golden brown and tender, turning halfway through roasting.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Gradually add warm water, a tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
Once the cauliflower is done roasting, remove it from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the roasted cauliflower.
Sprinkle smoked paprika and chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this heart-healthy dish.
