Ingredients

• 1 whole Head of cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Ras El Hanout spice blend
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 whole Garlic clove (minced)
• 3 tablespoons Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Prepare the cauliflower by removing the outer leaves and cutting it into bite-sized florets.

Step 3

Place the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower, and sprinkle with Ras El Hanout, salt, and black pepper. Toss the florets thoroughly to ensure even coating.

Step 5

Spread the cauliflower into a single layer on the baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the florets are golden brown and tender.

Step 6

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and warm water until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 8

Drizzle the tahini sauce over the roasted cauliflower or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
