Make sauce - Combine garlic, yogurt, miso, tahini, lemon juice, and water. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth. If needed, continue adding water until sauce is smooth and pourable. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)

Beans - Drain and rinse.

Green onions - Chop, keeping green and white parts separate.
Make

Toss carrots and cauliflower with olive oil, first part of Za’atar and some salt and pepper. Spread out on a sheet pan. Roast, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, until vegetables are very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
-
When vegetables are nearly finished cooking, toss beans with cooking oil, second portion of Za’atar, white parts of green onions, and some salt.
-
Spread beans over top of vegetables and continue roasting everything together until beans are warm, ~5 minutes more.
