Spicy Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Sauce
My Oven Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Sauce with spicy Parmesan is the tastiest side to get in your veggies.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower about 4 cups
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for serving
Tahini sauce:
- ¼ cup tahini
- 3 cloves garlic pressed
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon honey helps provide a little sweetness and make the sauce less spicy
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Slice cauliflower into 1 inch thick slices (I find this helps create crispier cauliflower but small chopped florets will also work). Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle cauliflower with olive oil, sprinkle with cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and red pepper flakes and toss to combine. Bake for about 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the cauliflower from the oven, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake for another 10 minutes.
- To make the tahini sauce: whisk together tahini, garlic, sriracha, yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper (and honey if using) until smooth.
- Drizzle sauce over the cauliflower, sprinkle with fresh parsley (if desired).
