Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and cut the cauliflower into florets.
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 0.5 teaspoon of paprika, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and has developed a golden-brown color, flipping once halfway through.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 0.25 cup of tahini, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of water, and 2 minced garlic cloves until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional water if needed.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with the tahini sauce.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
