Crispy caramelized roasted cauliflower marinated in Garam Masala with a tangy garlicky tahini dressing that is light and fresh.
Cauliflower is an underrated vegetable! In my house, we can eat a whole large head in one sitting. Roasting the cauliflower gives it a crispy and meaty texture that has a great chew. This also goes well with a heavier sauce such as tahini. The garam masala gives it a flavorful smoky warm depth, which makes a great vegetarian entree or a great side for chicken or fish. I also love that I can make extra and it is amazing the next day for lunch added to my salad.
Place tahini, yogurt, ginger, garlic, lime juice, lime zest, cumin, olive oil, and salt in a blender and purée. Add cold water to sauce until desired consistency. Add salt to taste and set aside.
Cut up cauliflower into individual florets. Place on an aluminum lined sheet pan. Drizzle with grape seed oil. Add Garamond masala and sea salt. Toss to combine.
Roast at 375 degrees for approximately 30 minutes or until crispy brown and cooked through. The time depends on how small you cut the pieces. Taste for salt and add if needed.
Arrange roasted cauliflower on a serving dish. Pour tahini dressing all over and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and chopped cilantro. Add lime or lemon zest or serve with lime on the side to give a little acid.
