Midweek dinner: Anti-inflammatory tahini roasted cauliflower recipe

Anti inflammatory roasted cauliflower with tahini dressing recipe.

I am such a fan of whole roasted cauliflowers.  They make an ideal side or as a centre stage for your meals.

Cauliflower can be deemed a wholefood “superfood” due to its nutrient-rich content.  It is super high in fiber, vitamins B and C. Cauliflower is high in glucosinolates (for detoxification) and carotenoids (antioxidants to help prevent cancer).

This cruciferous veggie has a host of amazing benefits from hormone balancing, improving digestion, to skin health and aiding bone health.  It is certainly a wonderful veg!

Recipe

Cauliflower

Large cauliflower head

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp cumin

Pinch of sea salt

Black pepper

Drizzle of olive oil on top for roasting

For the sauce

¼ cup tahini

Juice of 1 large lemon

3 tbsp water

1 tsp turmeric powder

Seasoning, including black pepper

1 crushed and chopped whole garlic clove

Toppings

3 large chopped dates

Handful of fresh chopped parsley

Method

Preheat the oven to 180c.  On a baking sheet place the cauliflower and add all the ingredients (apart from the sauce ingredients). Roast for 40 minutes.

To make the sauce add the tahini (make sure it’s well combined and not hard), lemon juice, water, garlic, turmeric and seasoning. Whisk until combined.

Place the cauliflower on a serving dish and drizzle with the sauce.  Top with chopped dates and fresh chopped parsley.

Enjoy!
