Roasted Carrots & Cauliflower with Tahini-Lemon Dressing and Pistachio Crumbs

I love all veggies, and I love highlighting their natural flavors, and elevating them with complementary spices, and ingredients, and this recipe, accomplished just that!

Sweet and tangy flavors, satisfying textures and stunning colors, I would definitely serve this at a dinner party as a side, as part of a mezze platter or served on rice as a vegan main.
