Caramelized Cauliflower With Tahini
Golden roasted Caramelized Cauliflower with Tahini and fried onions. A deliciously healthy side dish that makes a tasty side to a meal or can be served as an appetizer!
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower cleaned, leaves removed & cut into florets (about 4 cups)
- 1 small white onion halved & sliced thinly (about 2 cups)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/8 cup tahini
- 3-4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven 425 F. Place cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add salt and pepper to cauliflower. Bake cauliflower 15 minutes at 425 F then turn on the broiler on high to cook another 5 minutes. Remove cauliflower from oven and place aside.
- While cauliflower is cooking, heat a medium pan to medium high. Add extra virgin olive oil to the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, add the onions to the pan. Cook the onions until tender, stirring constantly.
- The onions can burn fast so watch carefully and remove when tender 8-10 minutes otherwise they will burn.
- Place onions on a paper towel and add a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- To the pan you used to cook the onions, turn the heat to low and add minced garlic. You should have enough oil left in the pan otherwise add a tiny bit more.
- After a minute, turn heat off add lemon juice, paprika, 1 tbsp parsley, tahini and whisk in 12 tbsp warm water to thin (I added 12 tbsp to mine).
- Be sure to continuously whisk the sauce as you're adding the water or it may burn.
- Place cauliflower in a bowl, add onions to the top then spoon tahini over it (I like to reserve about half the sauce for dipping). Sprinkle remaining cauliflower on top and enjoy!
