Roasted cauliflower is having a moment, and I’m loving it! But Let’s not forget that it’s not a meal in itself and to keep a balanced approach when building a plate.So I like to pair it with this protein-packed sweet potato purée and tahini beetroot dressing for some healthy fats. This brings our plate to 30g of protein and will help keep us full and satisfied! This recipe is so delicious, I hope you give it a go!

We enjoyed the recipe overall. The 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast overwhelmed the sweet potato puree. I would recommend 1/4 cup at the most if you want the sweet potato flavor to come through. The spice mixture on the cauliflower was quite nice. It was a bit of a labor intensive dish to make.
