Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini

Roasted Cauliflower is elevated with a delicious and easy-to-make tahini sauce!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4-1/2 cup tahini sauce (see ingredients below)
• 6 whole garlic cloves, crushed
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1/8 teaspoon cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• Pinch freshly ground black pepper
• Cold water

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. 2Remove the core of the cauliflower and cut it into large florets. Cut the florets/pieces in half so there’s a flat side.
3. 3Place the cut cauliflower in a bowl and add the oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to toss well so the cauliflower is evenly coated with the oil and spices.
4. 4Place the cauliflower, cut side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Do not shake or turn the cauliflower during the roasting time.
5. 5Meanwhile, while the cauliflower is roasting, make your tahini sauce.
6. 6Place the crushed garlic and lemon juice in a small blender. Pulse until they are just mixed.
7. 7Strain the lemon juice and garlic mixture through a fine mesh sieve, extracting as much liquid as you can.
8. 8Combine the garlic-infused lemon juice, tahini, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk until combined. The mixture will be very thick.
9. 9Add cold water, 1-2 teaspoons at a time, while whisking until your desired consistency is reached.
10. 10Serve the cauliflower with the tahini sauce. You can dip the cauliflower in the sauce or drizzle it over the florets. It works well as a salad dressing as well!
11. 11If you have any leftover tahini sauce, you can store it in an airtight container for 5-7 days and reserve for another use.
