Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower, and cut it into florets of similar size for even roasting.
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, water, maple syrup, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with a little more water, if needed.
Once the cauliflower is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the roasted cauliflower and toss gently to coat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a nut-free side dish or a light main.
