Caramelized Cauliflower and Brussels Sprout Salad with Dates, Almonds & (Just a Little) Spicy Tahini Dressing
(Serves 4)

1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp gran. garlic
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1 medium cauliflower
2-3 tbsp @moresh.moroccan olive oil
3 cups of cooked quinoa, cool 
1/2 lb. Brussels sprouts, shaved or smashed into leaves (see below)
1 cup finely diced celery
(Just a Little Spicy) Tahini Dressing (below)
1/2 cup sliced dates (these lovelies are from @terradelyssa)
1/2 cup toasted almonds
Pomegranate molasses (garnish)
•Preheat oven to 450° F and place an 18 x 13 sheet pan on middle rack. Combine turmeric, smoked paprika, garlic and salt. Cut cauliflower into 1 in florets and toss w/ olive oil & spice blend. Once oven is preheated, remove the pan and spread the cauliflower onto it. Roast cauliflower for 26-30 min total, flipping once. VERY IMPORTANT: 2x during cook time, carefully crack the oven door to release any steam that has built up in oven (lean to the side so the steam doesn’t hit you in the face). This ensures the cauliflower sears instead of steams. Cool for 10 min on pan. Combine quinoa, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, celery + 1/2 cup dressing. Plate and shower with dates, almonds, more dressing + pom molasses. 
•To Smash the Brussels Sprouts:
Make a v-shaped cut into each Brussels sprout to remove each core. Smash about 3 at a time using a heavy bottomed pot (smash down 3-5 times). Break apart into their individual leaves. Wash, dry, + chop the leaves.
• (Just a Little) Spicy Tahini Dressing
1/3 cup tahini
4 tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup water
1/2 tsp honey
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground chipotle powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp gran. garlic
S+P
Whisk together honey, lemon juice & tahini. Add water incrementally to loosen. Whisk in olive oil, spices +
