Instructions
Make the Tahini sauce
In a food processor, add tahini paste, lemon juice, water, salt, pepper, red chili flakes, garlic and parsley. Pulse to combine.
Scrape the sides and bottom and pulse few more times.
Don't make it too thin, you can always adjust the consistency of the sauce to preference. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and refrigerate.
Roast the cauliflower
In a pan/bowl, add cauliflower florets. Add curry powder, salt, pepper and olive oil and mix till all the cauliflower florets are well coated.
Transfer to a baking pan and bake at 425 F degrees for 22-25 minutes, flipping once in between. Remove and set aside.
Saute the veggies
While the cauliflower is in the oven, heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a pan on high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the onion, bell pepper and white part of scallions.
Saute for 1-2 minutes only on high heat, we want the veggies to remain crunchy. Remove from pan and set aside.
Assemble the pita tacos
To assemble the roasted cauliflower pita tacos, warm the pita bread and then place the roasted cauliflower and sauteed veggies on each pita bread.
Drizzle with tahini sauce and serve immediately with some more tahini sauce on the side. Garnish with green part of scallions!
