Equipment
Ingredients
Roasting cauliflower
- 1 large cauliflower head cut into florets
- ½ teaspoon turmeric or more
- ½ teaspoon paprika optional
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ tablespoon cooking oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Place cauliflower florets on a baking sheet. Sprinkle turmeric powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle cooking oil and mix well to coat the cauliflower with seasonings evenly. Spread the florets in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Oven roasting
- Bake the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20min. Flip or stir the florets and continue baking for another 5-10 min or more until they are caramelized to your liking.
Tahini sauce
- Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, combine tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to prepare a creamy tahini sauce.
Notes
- Garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and nice flavor in the dish. You can also drizzle some lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
- If you are vegan or want to make dairy-free tahini sauce, you can skip using yogurt. Tahini sauce will still taste great with other ingredients. Or you can use cashew cream instead.
- Adjust the consistency of the tahini sauce to your liking. You can keep it thick as a dipping sauce or make it like a dressing. Use milk or water to thin down the sauce.
