Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Lemon-Tahini Drizzle

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon water as needed to thin
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. 2 In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, sumac, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the cauliflower evenly with the spices.
  3. 3 Spread the spiced cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. 4 Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the florets are tender and golden brown.
  5. 5 While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the lemon-tahini drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Gradually add water, a tablespoon at a time, whisking until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
  6. 6 Once the cauliflower is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  7. 7 Drizzle the lemon-tahini sauce over the roasted cauliflower just before serving.
  8. 8 Garnish with additional sumac or fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
