Ingredients

  • Cauliflower: 1 large head about 2 pounds [approx. 907 grams]
  • Olive oil: 3 tablespoons 45ml
  • Ground cumin: 1 teaspoon 5ml
  • Ground paprika: 1 teaspoon 5ml
  • Ground turmeric: 1/2 teaspoon 2.5ml
  • Red pepper flakes: 1/2 teaspoon adjust to taste
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon

FOR THE TAHINI DRIZZLE:

  • Tahini: 3 tablespoons 45ml
  • Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons 30ml
  • Garlic clove: 1 minced
  • Warm water: 1-2 tablespoons 15-30ml to thin
  • Salt: to taste

Instructions

  • Wash the cauliflower and cut it into medium-sized florets.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground paprika, ground turmeric, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  • Toss the cauliflower florets in the spice mixture until they’re thoroughly coated.
  • Spread the coated florets on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded.
  • Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are tender and have a nice golden-brown color. Remember to flip the florets halfway to ensure even roasting.
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini drizzle. In a bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and warm water. Adjust the consistency with water and season with salt.
  • Once the cauliflower is ready, remove it from the oven.
  • Serve the spicy roasted cauliflower on plates or in a bowl and generously drizzle the tahini mixture over the top.

Notes

  • Ensure your oven is fully preheated before adding the cauliflower to get a crispy texture.
  • Adjust the level of spice according to your preference. For an extra kick, add more red pepper flakes.
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the best flavor for the tahini drizzle.
  • You can store the leftover tahini drizzle in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
