Ingredients

To make this recipe, you'll need:

Cauliflower - the star ingredient in this recipe, known for its versatility and ability to absorb flavors. When roasted with salt, paprika and olive oil, it develops a deliciously caramelized taste and tender texture.

To make the Gochujang Tahini sauce:

Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) – Gochujang brings a bold and spicy kick to the dish, infusing it with the unique flavors of Korean cuisine and adding depth to the overall taste.

Tahini – a paste made from sesame seeds, lends a creamy and nutty element to the sauce, balancing the spiciness of gochujang and creating a velvety texture.

Maple syrup – Maple syrup adds a touch of natural sweetness, harmonizing the spicy and tangy flavors of the sauce and enhancing the overall complexity of the dish.

Lime juice – Fresh lime juice brightens the flavors of the dish, providing a tangy and citrusy note that cuts through the richness of the sauce and adds a refreshing element

Soy sauce – Soy sauce contributes a savory umami flavor that complements the other ingredients, providing a depth of taste and enhancing the overall savory profile of the dish.

Ginger powder (or minced ginger) – Ginger powder or minced ginger adds a subtle warmth and aromatic quality to the dish, enhancing the overall flavor profile and adding a touch of earthiness.

Garnishes: sliced scallions and sesame seeds.

Instructions

1. Cut the cauliflower into slices. Rub the cauliflower with salt, paprika, olive oil and any spices of choice.

2. Bake the cauliflower at 350F (180C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway.
