Ingredients
- 1 head orange cauliflower
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- to taste salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 c almonds, sliced, toasted (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- LEMON-PEPPER TAHINI SAUCE
- 1/2 c tahini
- 1/4 c lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tbsp warm water (more as needed)
- to taste salt
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem so that the cauliflower can sit flat, being careful not to cut too close to the florets.
Step 3
Place the cauliflower head in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and rub to coat the entire surface. Season generously with salt and sprinkle with black pepper and lemon zest.
Step 4
Roast in the preheated oven until the exterior is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center meets little resistance, about 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the size.
Step 5
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the Lemon-Pepper Tahini Sauce. In a bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Add warm water a tablespoon at a time, whisking until the sauce reaches a pourable consistency.
Step 6
Once the cauliflower is done, let it rest for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a serving platter.
Step 7
Drizzle the cauliflower with the Lemon-Pepper Tahini Sauce, ensuring it covers the top and sides.
Step 8
Garnish with toasted sliced almonds and chopped fresh parsley.
Step 9
Serve immediately as the main entrée.<br><br>
