Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup pomegranate arils
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 Tbsp pine nuts, lightly toasted
- 3 Tbsp chopped parsley
Tahini Dressing
- ¼ cup tahini
- 3 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2-4 Tbsp warm water
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees and line two baking sheets with foil.
- In a large bowl, toss together cauliflower florets, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place sliced lemons in a single layer on the second baking sheet.
- Bake cauliflower for 25-30 minutes, tossing it once halfway through the cooking time, until it's turning golden. Bake lemons 18-24 minutes, flipping after 12 minutes, until they are nice and caramelized.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before arranging cauliflower on a platter and topping with pomegranate arils, crumbled feta cheese, pine nuts, and chopped parsley. Top with roasted lemons and drizzle tahini dressing over the salad.
Tahini Dressing
- In a medium bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Whisk in 2 Tbsp water. If dressing is too thick, continue whisking in water, 1 Tbsp at a time until you reach desired consistency.
