ROASTED CAULIFLOWER W/ TAHINI SAUCE

With the weather getting so nice lately, i’ve been going out to eat once or twice a week. Almost every restaurant has had roasted cauliflower on the menu so I got inspired to make by own version with a creamy tahini sauce.

If you are looking for a perfect side or prefer to eat a vegetarian dish, I would highly recommend this recipe. It’s light, the tender cauliflower florets are seasoned and roasted to perfection. The creamy tahini sauce counterbalances the saltiness and the sprinkle of lemon adds such a beautiful freshness to the dish. Also, a great way to get those picky eaters to eat their veggies.
