Tahini Drizzled Cauliflower Head

IMG_3811.jpg

Whenever I see a whole roasted cauliflower with tahini at a restaurant, it is absolutely the first thing I order. 100% of the time. ⁣Tahini is a great base flavor, it’s nutty and rich, but can be a little overwhelming on its own. At restaurants I’ve seen versions with date, pistachio, and mint, and for this recipe I decided to incorporate my favorite spice, turmeric, for its gorgeous color and incredible anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric, tahini, and fresh parsley creates a zesty Mediterranean flavor on crispy broccoli, you’ll feel like your kitchen just turned into your favorite restaurant!

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower⁣
1/3 cup tahini⁣
1 Tbsp lemon juice⁣

1/4 cup fresh parlsey⁣
1/4 cup water⁣

To make the sauce, combine tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, and turmeric in a blender and blend until it’s a more runny consistency. Chop parsley and stir it in the tahini sauce. ⁣Once your cauliflower is done, place it on a plate and drizzle your tahini sauce over it. ⁣Enjoy!
