A whole roasted cauliflower is a true showstopper on any table. Pre-cooking in salted water ensures even cooking, while subsequent roasting at high temperatures develops a golden brown, caramelized surface. The tahini sauce with maple syrup and lime is the perfect accompaniment—creamy, nutty, and with a slight sweetness that underlines the earthy cauliflower flavor. Optionally, a dash of sriracha adds a pleasant heat. This dish proves that vegetables can be the star of the evening. The presentation is impressive, the preparation surprisingly simple. In 45 minutes of baking time, a nutty crust develops, while the interior remains buttery soft.
