Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets.
Season the cauliflower with salt, black pepper, and paprika, then toss everything together to ensure the florets are evenly coated with oil and spices.
Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender, turning once halfway through.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, and cumin.
Whisk the sauce ingredients together until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more water until you reach your desired consistency.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and place it on a serving platter.
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the roasted cauliflower.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious side dish or light meal.
