Roasted Cauliflower with Spiced Tahini Dip. I was first introduced to this when Ella and I stayed with some friends friends for a few days enjoying the beach and togetherness. My friend @rana.unity made us this Arabic Roasted Cauliflower Spiced Tahini (not the proper name, help me out with the actual title, thanks 🙂

I loved it so much I went home and made my own version of it.
Enjoy this simple and nourishing recipe!! <3

Ingredients

1 tbsp curry powder
1-2 tsp salt 
drizzle of olive oil

1/2 cup tahini
2 garlic cloves minced 
1 tsp curry 
sprinkle turmeric 
1-2 tbsp maple syrup 
3 tbsp lemon + little water to thin it out about 4 tbsp
pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

Roast the Cauliflower
  1. Preheat oven to 400F
  2. Wash and Cut cauliflower into even medium sized florets.
  3. Add to a baking  pan with parchment paper
  4. Add curry, salt, olive oil, garlic powder to the cauliflower. Massage it all together
  5. Pop in oven for 30 to 40 minutes
Make the Sauce:
  1.  1/2 cup tahini, + 2 garlic cloves minced + 1 tsp curry + sprinkle  turmeric + 1-2 tbsp maple syrup + 3 tbsp lemon + little water to thin it out about 4 tbsp + pinch salt. Taste and make to your perfect taste.
  2. Add water a little bit at a time to thin it out. You want it to be able to drizzle over all the cauliflower but it not be runny.
  3. Once drizzled I mix it all up and pop it in fridge until its cold. Its a cold salad.
  4. The way I am serving it here is a great approach if you are serving family of picky eaters. The plain toasted cauliflower tastes really delicious on it’s own.
Make the Salad:

  1. Add cauliflower into a bowl. Drizzle the sauce over top and mix together. You may have some left over depending on how big your cauliflower was and your taste preference. I like it pretty saucy.
  2. Cover and pop in fridge until it gets cold.

Saving Money:

Buy larger jars of ethnic tahini, sesame only. You will save in the long run by buying bulk.

Tips:

 

The way I am serving it here is a great approach if you are serving family of picky eaters. The plain toasted cauliflower tastes really delicious on it’s own. 

If it is just for me though, I combine the sauce with the cauliflower and pop in the fridge to get really cold and marinated. This way is my favorite.

 
Note…when you make this…taste as you go. And feel into the amounts of each ingredient. I guessed how much I used, to be honest…. I go by feel and taste.  Keep tasting and adding a bit of one of the ingredients until it comes to your perfect taste.
 
Use this as a dip or drizzle lightly all over the cauliflower and mix it together like a dressing for a salad. This is a cold salad 🙂

Saving Time:

Make this ahead of time and store in fridge for up to 3 days.
