    Preparation

    Cauliflower

    1
    1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
    2. Remove green leaves from cauliflower and discard.
    3. Cut heads of cauliflower into medium sized florets and rinse. 
    4. In a small bowl, mix together the seasoning.
    5. Slightly grease two baking sheets with olive oil and divide the cauliflower between the two pans. You don’t want to crowd them.
    6. Drizzle olive oil over the florets and gently toss to coat.
    7. Sprinkle seasoning over the florets and toss again to coat. Arrange the cauliflower so that the florets are facing up.
    8. Place both pans in the oven.
    9. Slice the scallions into rings and set aside for garnish.
    10. Roast for 25-30 minutes, swapping the pans half way through the cooking time.
    11. Remove the florets from the oven as soon as they begin browning and are fork tender.
    12. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with sliced scallions.
    13. If using, drizzle some of the tahini dressing over the cauliflower.
