Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Head of cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Ras El Hanout spice blend
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cups Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 whole Garlic clove (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the cauliflower by removing the outer leaves and cutting it into bite-sized florets.
Place the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower, and sprinkle with Ras El Hanout, salt, and black pepper. Toss the florets thoroughly to ensure even coating.
Spread the cauliflower into a single layer on the baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the florets are golden brown and tender.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and warm water until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the roasted cauliflower or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
