Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 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 bite-sized florets.
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, turning halfway through.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, and minced garlic until smooth and creamy. Adjust the water quantity as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving dish.
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the warm cauliflower.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added layer of flavor and freshness.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light meal.
