Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
  • olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried coriander
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • a sprinkle of dried chilli flakes
  • ½ cup crushed almonds

Tahini sauce:

  • 1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)
  • ¼ cup of water
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • a handful of chopped fresh parsley

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Blanch the cauliflower in salted boiling water for a couple of minutes, then drain in a colander, allowing to steam dry (the cauliflower will take forever to roast if too moist).
  3. Combine all the spices, nuts and oil, and toss cauliflower florets in the mix.
  4. Place in ovenproof dish or tray and roast them for about 15-20 minutes, turning them a few times for even crispiness.
  5. To make the tahini sauce, mix tahini, water, lemon juice, parsley and garlic together in a bowl and stir until smooth. Drizzle over the cauliflower and serve immediately.
