Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tsp paprika or ground cumin
  • salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 40 g (¼ cup) roasted blanched almonds, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp sultanas

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Place the cauliflower florets onto a baking tray, add the paprika, salt and pepper and a good drizzle of olive oil. Toss to combine, then roast for 20–30 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  3. Combine the tahini, lemon juice and enough water to create a sauce the consistency of pouring cream, or as thick as you like it. Stir in the garlic and a good pinch of salt.
