Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, melt the butter and mix in the salt and pepper. Add the cauliflower florets and toss until they are well coated. Spread the florets onto a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Jalapeño Tahini

    In a small bowl, mix together the tahini, diced jalapeño, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning based on your spice preference.

  3. 3

    Make the Tomato Vinaigrette

    In another bowl, combine diced tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it sit for flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Toast the Pine Nuts

    In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven. Serve it warm, drizzled with jalapeño tahini and tomato vinaigrette. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts on top for added crunch.
