Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets (870 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon za'atar seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard I use horseradish Dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste

Tahini Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the cauliflower florets to a bowl and add the olive oil, mustard, za'atar seasoning, and salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Arrange the cauliflower florets on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked to your preference.
  • Make the sauce: While the cauliflower bakes, make the tahini dipping sauce. In a small mixing bowl, add all of the dip ingredients except the water. Whisk well. Taste and add more of any flavor you prefer.
  • Add water slowly, until you reach a consistency you like. It'll thicken before it starts to thin out.
  • Serve the cauliflower with sauce on the sauce for dipping, or drizzle on top.

Notes

Store leftover cauliflower in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. The tahini sauce will last about a week in the fridge.
