Roasted cauliflower with a lemon tahini dressing, dates, pistachios & fresh herbs

This roasted cauliflower is the perfect spring time dish. You could say I am obsessed and have the urge to make it all of the time because I always crave the robust flavors.

 We literally use cauliflower for EVERYTHING now. Right? Shall we count the ways?

1. Cauliflower rice
2. Cauliflower pizza & breadsticks
3. Cauliflower mash
4. Cauliflower (n)oats (paleo people know whats up)
5. Cauliflower "cheese" sauces
6. Cauliflower tots - honestly, so good though
7. Cauliflower grilled cheese
8. Cauliflower "wings" - also baller
9. Cauliflower tortillas
10. Cauliflower "hummus"
 
Okay okay, you get it. It can be a great substitute don't get wrong and I love cauliflower in all shapes and sizes, but sometimes you just miss the real deal kind of cauliflower. The florets kind, the simple kind, the roasted kind. The kind that can be transformed with the type of flavors you are craving at the exact moment!
 
 

Roasted cauliflower is easily one of my favorite veggies to cook up and have on hand for the week ahead or for dinners. The best part of this cauliflower is that the components of the dish can all be stored separately so nothing gets soggy and then its like BOOM fresh AF cauliflower the next day. And and and it is so quick and easy to make.

 
And please, don't skimp of the fresh herbs! They seriously elevate the dish and take it to a whole new level!
 
Enjoy, friends!
