Roasted Cauliflower with Tzatziki
2 recipes in one for this roasted cauliflower with tzatziki post!
Have together or just eat the tzatziki on it’s own! Easy, very nutritious, has a Middle Eastern twist with the fresh zaatar and of course makes a perfect vegetarian main course.
Ingredients for Tzatziki
- local cucumbers
3 to 4 local (that's the small ones for us in Dubai)
- Good greek yoghurt
The thicker the better for this recipe, about 400 grams is good, see how you like it.
- garlic
1/2 to 1 teaspoon of fresh finely chopped garlic. Do a batch and store in your fridge, so useful for many dishes. The ready made paste doesn't taste the same.
- fresh zaatar
It's really easy for us to get fresh zaatar leaves here in Dubai, if you can get them, use about 2 handfuls. Mostly the leaves, not the hard stalky bits. Use 1 to 2 teaspoons of the zaatar powder mix if you cannot get fresh leaves.
- salt and pepper
To your taste, but at least 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- spring onions
small handful of chopped spring onions.
- ROUGHLY CRUSHED UNSALTED PEANUTS TO GARNISH
FOR THE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER
Simply break into florets and toss in a mix of salt, pepper, olive oil, turmeric and a little chilli if you like. I suggest about 1/4 tsp of all the spices and about 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
Roast in an Air Fryer or in your oven till golden brown. Don’t cook it till it becomes soggy! If you like cauliflower but not gluten, you may like our very popular CAULIFLOWER BREAD recipe. Watch the You Tube of how to make it here.
