    Roasted cauliflower with tahini dressing is a delicious way to enjoy cauliflower. Serve this healthy cauliflower dish warm or cold for a healthy keto side dish. It's vegan and gluten free too.

    How to make roasted cauliflower with tahini

    This is an easy low carb cauliflower recipe. Roasting cauliflower florets then tossing them in a creamy sauce is a low carb staple!

    All you need to make this low carb vegetarian side dish is a fresh ripe cauliflower head. For the sauce, it's a mix of tahini, lemon, turmeric, oil and water. Fresh mint brings a clean taste with the crunch of spring onions. The sprinkle of sumac goes well with the lemon tahini dressing too.

    Recipe Tips

    Spread the cauliflower florets in an even layer when roasted to ensure even caramalization.

    If you don't want to roast the cauliflower in a hot kitchen, air fry the florets.

    If you have any tahini dressing left, serve it on the side so you can pour any extra over the cauliflower.

    If the tahini dressing is too thick when you are making it, add a couple of tablespoons of extra water. You want the dressing to be creamy and not too runny.
