No reviews

This tahini-honey roasted cauliflower is a simple yet sophisticated side dish or vegetarian main course. The nutty tahini and sweet honey perfectly complement the earthy cauliflower, creating a flavor explosion in every bite. Roasting brings out the cauliflower’s natural sweetness and gives it a delightful crispy texture.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together tahini, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the tahini-honey mixture.
  4. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the florets aren't overcrowded for best roasting results.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  6. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy cauliflower, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave. For a vegan option, substitute maple syrup for honey. Serve as a side dish or as a main course over rice or quinoa.
