  • In a large bowl toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil until well coated, then add cumin and sea salt and toss again.

Notes

A simple twist on roasted cauliflower, the flavors added by the olives and currants give it a delicious savory and sweet profile. Cauliflower is an incredible food, it directly supports the body’s detox system, its antioxidant system, and its inflammatory/ anti-inflammatory system, thus making it a highly cancer preventative food.
Make ahead tip: Keep the creamy tahini dressing in your food prep lineup for the week and this recipe only takes 10 minutes to throw in the oven.
