Roasted Cauliflower with Yogurt Tahini Dressing image

Cauliflower is one of my favorite ingredients. My kids love it. It pairs so well with so many different things: chicken, fish, etc. I've started to use tahini a lot more in my cooking; it's a great way to bring complex flavor to a dish.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 heads cauliflower, cut into florets
Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained
6 shallots, cut into quarters
2 tablespoons zaatar
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons tahini
Juice of 2 lemons

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower, chickpeas, shallots, olive oil, zaatar and salt and pepper. Pour into a 2-quart oval cast-iron casserole pan and place in the oven to roast until the florets are tender, about 35 minutes.
  • To make the dressing, mix the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Mix well to dissolve the tahini.
  • Place the casserole on a trivet or heatproof surface. Drizzle the dressing on top and serve while still warm.
