I've ordered a dish like this in restaurants many times but now I don't have to, I can make it at home. There is something about cauliflower and tahini that goes so well together. I love this dish with grilled chicken or fish, and some rice on the side

Roast Cauliflower with Lemon Tahini 

 

Ingredients

1 head of cauliflower, cut up into small florets
3 tablespoons canola oil
