Roasted Cauliflower in Tahini Dressing

One of my favorite vegetables is cauliflower. I love it raw, cooked, baked, and as cauliflower rice.

A few weeks ago I saw this version on a tahini dressing, and thought I had to try it. it didn’t disappoint.

The cauliflower is sprinkled with cumin and roasted in the oven, then placed on top of the dressing, with a topping of parsley, onion and almonds

This is the perfect side for a piece of grilled meat, like lamb or chicken.

Serves 4.

Ingredients:

Roasted cauliflower:

  • 1 cauliflower, cut into bouquets

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon cumin

  • Sprinkle of salt

Tahini dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons tahini

  • 6 tablespoons Greek yogurt

  • 1 garlic clove,

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed

  • Salt to taste

Topping:

  • 4 tablespoons almonds, roasted and chopped

  • 1 handful Italian parsley, chopped

  • 1 small onion, finely diced

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 430℉/220℃.

Place cauliflower on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, drizzle olive oil over and sprinkle salt and cumin, mix it so the cauliflower is evenly coated. Roast the cauliflower for 15-20 minutes. You want them to be tender with a bit of a crunchy texture.

Mix the ingredients to the dressing and season additional salt and lemon juice to taste.

Mix the topping in a bowl, and set aside

Spread the dressing on to a serving dish, place the roasted cauliflower on top, adding the topping on last.

Serve immediately.

Enjoy
