How to Make Roasted Cauliflower With Ras El Hanout Tahini Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, ¼ cup tahini, 1 tablespoon Ras El Hanout (recipe #479884 recommended, see note below), and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets, to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
  5. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned, stirring halfway through.
  7. While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the tahini sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup tahini, ¼ cup water, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 clove garlic (minced), and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach desired consistency.
  8. Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving platter.
  9. Drizzle generously with the tahini sauce just before serving.
  10. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional) and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
