15 mins prepServes 4
A delicious and healthy way to add more veggies to your diet with roasted cauliflower seasoned with Middle Eastern spices and topped with a creamy tahini garlic sauce, fresh herbs, pomegranate, and pine nuts.
For the cauliflower, combine 1 head of cauliflower, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon pepper, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1/2 tablespoon paprika, and 1/2 tablespoon cumin. Add the marinade to the cauliflower and roast at 425 F (220 C) for about an hour until fork-tender.
For the tahini sauce, roast 1-2 heads of garlic in the oven with 1/4 cup olive oil until tender. Once done, blend the roasted garlic with 1 cup tahini, the juice of 2 lemons, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add 1/4 cup water to thin out the sauce if it’s too thick.
Once the cauliflower is cooked, add the tahini sauce, fresh parsley, pomegranate arils, toasted pine nuts, and a drizzle of hot honey. Enjoy!
