Seriously delicious. Every time I roast cauliflower I am again completely surprised at how awesome it tastes. And I must say it is particularly good with the flavor of sesame seeds. Which is why I really love it tossed in a salad with a tahini dressing. This time, I went for a za’atar roasted cauliflower. And if you don\u2019t already know, za’atar actually contains sesame seeds. That\u2019s where the awesomeness starts! Add sumac and thyme, and you\u2019ve got a tasty mix! So yeah, so za’atar roasted cauliflower, that\u2019s only the beginning. I also threw in some red onion to the mix. Half caramelized in the oven with the cauliflower and the rest fresh, sweet onions, scattered over top. Then there is the dressing \u2013 a lemon-parsley dressing to keep things fresh and tangy. And now the topper \u2013 more sesame seed awesomeness. Gomasio. Oh yeah.<\/p>\n

Gomasio \u2013 a great way to add flavor and extra nutrients<\/h2>\n

The inspiration for this recipe comes from my friend Ines, who is a self-proclaimed salad and vegetable lover just like me. And she\u2019s also the one who introduced me to something called gamasio. Goma means sesame and sio means salt. And what it exactly is, is a mixture of roasted sesame seeds, ground together just enough to break up the seeds, then mixed together with a little sea salt.<\/p>\n

Gomasio is a great way to add flavor to dishes, especially for those wanting to cut down on salt. And not only is it a great way to reduce sodium, but it also boosts the nutritional value with a little extra calcium, magnesium, iron, protein, and fiber. Of course you can buy it ready-made<\/a>, but it\u2019s super easy to make yourself. Plus its fresh and there\u2019 no risk of forgetting to read the list of ingredients and getting a store-bought version with added sugar. Yep, it\u2019s out there.<\/p>\n

Za’atar roasted cauliflower \u2013 so yummy you\u2019ll want more<\/h2>\n

Lesson learned with this roasted cauliflower recipe \u2013 double it. I seriously could have eaten the whole plate myself. And since this really only is a side dish, it means there\u2019s a whole lot of sharing that needs to happen here. I know it may seem weird to devour a whole head of cauliflower to yourself, but you might just manage \u00be of one. It shrinks when it roasts!<\/p>\n

Which means there\u2019s not a whole lot of sharing left to be had. Unless of course you are serving it with something as equally yummy as a main. Take your favorite lentil dish, or chicken dish and you may be able to be able to make the sacrifice. Or just be happy that you doubled it and have some leftovers to enjoy later.<\/p>\n
