Mediterranean Spiced Cauliflower with Sumac and Lemon-Tahini Drizzle

Ingredients

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

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

Method

1. 01
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. 02
   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. 03
   Spread the spiced cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. 04
   Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the florets are tender and golden brown.
5. 05
   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. 06
   Once the cauliflower is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
7. 07
   Drizzle the lemon-tahini sauce over the roasted cauliflower just before serving.
8. 08
   Garnish with additional sumac or fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
