This Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini & Sumac showcases the versatility of cauliflower, transforming it into a sweet, tender delight that pairs beautifully with a creamy tahini sauce and the tangy brightness of sumac.

We love how this recipe elevates a humble vegetable into a show-stopping dish that is not only visually appealing but also packed with flavor and nutrients. It’s perfect as a side for grilled meats or even as a vegetarian main.
Helpful Tips
- Uniform florets: When cutting the cauliflower into florets, aim for uniform sizes to ensure even roasting. This will help all pieces cook at the same rate, resulting in perfectly tender cauliflower.
- Adjusting tahini sauce consistency: If you find the tahini sauce too thick, gradually add water until you reach your desired consistency. The sauce should be pourable yet still creamy, making it easy to drizzle over the roasted cauliflower.
- Sumac: Sumac is a spice made from the dried and ground berries of the sumac plant. It has a tangy, lemony flavor. You can find it at most specialty spice stores or online. It’s great on salads, meats, and rice.
