Sesame seeds help with progesterone balance. Lignans found in in sesame seeds help to prevent excess estrogen production. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

1 head of cauliflower
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1 1/2 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
kosher salt
3 tbsp. tahini (sesame paste)
3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp. Chopped cilantro
sesame seeds
Pita bread or chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with the oil, ginger, and coriander and season with salt. Spread the cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes, stirring once or twice, until tender and lightly browned in spots. Let cool slightly.
Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. Add the tahini and lemon juice and pulse to a chunky puree; season with salt. Add the cilantro and pulse just until incorporated. Transfer the spread to a bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve warm with pita bread or chips.
