Ingredients

• 1 large cauliflower, cut into florets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons water (as needed)
• Handful of chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Step 2

Place the cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat each floret with the oil and spices.

Step 3

Spread the cauliflower florets evenly on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

Step 4

Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Rotate the florets halfway through cooking for even roasting.

Step 5

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, combine the tahini with the lemon juice. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water until it reaches the desired consistency.

Step 6

Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and place it on a serving platter.

Step 7

Sprinkle the cauliflower with the tahini sauce and garnish with the chopped parsley or coriander.

Serve the roasted cauliflower with tahini immediately as a warm side dish. It's a delicious way to enjoy this classic vegetable, with a Middle Eastern twist that's sure to impress!
