Roasted veggies are the quintessential warming dish for a cold night. We chose cauliflower to embellish the delicious ACV-laced sauce. But any roasted root and/or toasted grain will complement the sumptuous apple cider vinegar tahini drizzle.

Cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Place in large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) sea salt. Toss to blend. Sprinkle with pepper and spread out on baking sheet. Place in centre of preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is crisp and golden tinged.

Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients, except cilantro, in high-speed blender. Whirl until creamy. Add a splash of water, if necessary to make sauce pourable. Add more seasonings to taste, if you wish.
