Method

Roasting the Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut the head into florets. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Spread the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, turning halfway through.

Making the Tahini Dressing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, and salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust with more water if the dressing is too thick.

Preparing Garlic Chips

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Fry Garlic

    Add the thinly sliced garlic to the hot oil, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

  3. 7

    Drain and Cool

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the garlic chips and drain them on paper towels. Set aside for garnishing.

Making Chili Oil

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine chili flakes and olive oil. Heat over low heat for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse. Do not let it boil.

  2. 9

    Cool and Store

    Remove from heat and let cool. Strain if desired, and store in a small jar.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 10

    Plate the Cauliflower

    Once the cauliflower is roasted, place it on a serving platter.

  2. 11

    Drizzle with Dressing

    Drizzle the tahini dressing generously over the roasted cauliflower.

  3. 12

    Add Garlic Chips and Chili Oil

    Sprinkle the garlic chips on top and drizzle with chili oil.

  4. 13

    Garnish with Herbs

    Finish by garnishing with fresh herbs.
