Zaatar Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Drizzle

This Zaatar Roasted Cauliflower offers an aromatic twist on a classic vegetable dish. The Middle Eastern blend of herbs and spices known as zaatar pairs perfectly with creamy tahini, creating a unique and delectable experience.

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons zaatar spice blend
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, zaatar, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and tender, turning once halfway through.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, and minced garlic until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
  5. Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and drizzle with the tahini sauce.
  6. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
