Roasted Cauliflower

Tahini Sauce

Rice

Pita Bread

Method

Roasted Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Preheat oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare cauliflower

    Cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Season and toss

    Add olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss to coat the cauliflower evenly.

  4. 4

    Roast

    Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

Tahini Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Gradually add water, whisking until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.

Rice

  1. 6

    Rinse rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 7

    Cook rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add rice, salt, and olive oil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Salad

  1. 8

    Combine vegetables

    In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped parsley.

  2. 9

    Dress salad

    Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

Pita Bread

  1. 10

    Warm pita

    Warm the pita bread on a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side or wrap in foil and heat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Plate the dish

    On each plate, place a serving of rice, a portion of roasted cauliflower, a scoop of salad, and a drizzle of tahini sauce. Serve with warm pita bread on the side.
