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!

This was delicious and really flavoursome – everyone loved it. I topped it with pine nuts and sunflower seeds. Any ideas on how best to use the leftover beetroot dressing? Can I freeze it?
Wow Nicole, this looks beautiful 😍 Love the added seeds on top! The leftover beetroot dressing is perfect to use up on salads, or as a spread / base for sandwiches or wraps. I have not tried freezing it, but I think it would work, you’ll have to give it a good stir or a quick blend, to bring back the consistency once thawed 🙂 Let us know if you give it a go 🙂
A wonderful recipe. The creamy sweet potato base pairs perfectly with the roasted cauliflower. The fresh, lemony beetroot sauce is a must-have. It’s the combination that makes it special.
I am so happy you enjoyed it Sabine! Thank you so much for your beautiful review 💚
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.
