Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Dipping Sauce
Roasted cauliflower with tahini dipping sauce is a very easy side dish or light meal. There are only a few steps to make this and it goes so well with so many dishes.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the cauliflower:
- 1 head of cauliflower cleaned, stem removed and cut into slices across the entire head of cauliflower.
- 3 tablespoon Olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon cumin
For Tahini Sauce:
- 1 juice of 1 large lemon or 1 ½ small lemons
- ⅓ cup tahini paste Make sure you stir this well since the oil sits on top much like natural peanut butter. This can be found in the international section of your supermarket
- ⅓ cup water
- 2 tablespoon sour cream or Greek Yogurt
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add your prepared cauliflower to a large sheet pan and drizzle your olive oil over top then mix it all together.1 head of cauliflower, 3 tablespoon Olive oil
- Now sprinkle salt and cumin over all of the cauliflower.½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon cumin
- Roast the cauliflower in the oven until it starts to turn lightly golden and caramelizes, for about 25-30 minutes.
- While your cauliflower is roasting, grab your container of tahini paste and mix it really well.
- This takes some patience to get the oil on top all mixed in. Once this is done, measure out tahini paste and add to a medium bowl.⅓ cup tahini paste
- Now add water and whisk it well. Add your lemon juice to the bowl along with the cumin, garlic powder, sour cream and salt and whisk again.1 juice of 1 large lemon, ⅓ cup water, 2 tablespoon sour cream, ½ teaspoon cumin powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- The tahini sauce should be the consistency of a thicker salad dressing but not too thick. If it is too thick, just add a little more water. If it is too thin, add a bit more tahini paste. Taste for seasoning. If it is still a little bitter, add a bit more lemon juice.
- Serve tahini in small ramekins with a side of cauliflower for individuals or in a large bowl with a spoon for everyone to drizzle tahini over their cauliflower.
Notes
Extra tahini sauce can be stored in the fridge covered for up to 3 days.
To use just remove from the fridge to come to room temperature.
