Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
For the cauliflower: Place the oil and za'atar in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined. Add the cauliflower and toss well.
Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Turn the cauliflower over and return it to the oven. Roast until it is tender and browned on the edges, another 15 to 20 minutes.
For the lemon tahini dressing: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, maple syrup, sesame oil, sea salt, garlic and 3 tablespoons water until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add more water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, until it’s a dressing consistency.
After the cauliflower comes out of the oven, toss it with the lemon tahini dressing and garnish with more za'atar if desired.
