Cheezy Tahini Roasted Cauliflower
Perfectly roasted cauliflower with no oil. I’ve tried out a few different ways of roasting cauliflower without oil and this is the winner! It’s savoury, cheesey and so simple, just mix up your spice/tahini mix, add the chopped cauli and spread it out on a tray to bake.
This recipe uses tahini to add a whole food form of fat to help these brown beautifully, then they’re given a cheesey flavour with nutritional yeast and onion granules/powder and a bit of turmeric for colour (and because it’s such an amazing spice health-wise). I never would have thought I could eat a whole head of cauliflower myself but when it’s roasted and flavoured like this it’s hard to stop eating!
Cheezy tahini roasted cauliflower makes a great side or snack or can be part of a buddha/nourish bowl.
I use Macro organic hulled tahini - it’s made with roasted sesame seeds which gives it a richer almost buttery flavour. Before I found this brand I thought I just didn’t like tahini - other ones I’ve tried have been too bitter for me.

Ingredients
1 small head of cauliflower (500g) 1 Tbsp tahini 1 ½ Tbsp unsweetened soy milk (or milk of choice) 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast ¼ tsp salt ½ tsp onion granules or powder ⅛ tsp turmeric ⅛ tsp black pepperDirections

- Mix all other ingredients together in a small bowl (tahini, soy milk, nutritional yeast, onion granules, salt, turmeric, pepper).
- Add the tahini mixture to the cauliflower and mix through until all the cauliflower florets are coated - as the mixture is quite thick it helps to use your hands to mix it all around.
- Spread the cauliflower florets out on a large baking tray that has been lined with baking paper.
- Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
