Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Tahini paste
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat the florets evenly.
Spread the cauliflower florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini paste, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of water, maple syrup, and grated garlic clove until smooth and well combined.
Adjust the consistency of the tahini sauce by adding more water if needed, 1 teaspoon at a time, until your desired consistency is reached.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the roasted cauliflower.
Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of paprika before serving.
