Balance blood sugar without sacrificing flavor! My Roasted Cauliflower with a Tahini Drizzle + Dukkah is a nutrient-dense, flavor-forward powerhouse.
Using the Fab Four — protein, fat, fiber, and greens — to optimize blood sugar balance, I’m always looking for creative ways to bring blood sugar-friendly meals to life with simple but stunning sides like this one.
This recipe checks all the boxes:
- Fiber: Roasted cauliflower is our comforting, caramelized, fiber-rich base to feed the microbiome.
- Healthy Fat: A creamy tahini drizzle, infused with lemon and olive oil, stabilizes blood sugar, increases nutrient absorption, and promotes satiety.
- Dukkah — a Mediterranean mix of spices, seeds, salt, and nuts — provides even more healthy fats, minerals, micronutrients, and a little bit of plant-based protein. Not to mention crunch, warmth, and some spice.
It’s warm, nourishing, and beautiful to plate — this side dish is packed with real-food ingredients to support steady energy and leave you satisfied for hours.
Whether you're serving it as a veggie-forward main or a crowd-pleasing side, this recipe proves that blood sugar-balanced eating can be deeply delicious, too.
