Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut the cauliflower head into florets and place them in a large bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the cauliflower until all the florets are evenly coated with oil and spices.
Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender.
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, water, and minced garlic.
Whisk until smooth, adding more water if needed to reach the desired consistency.
Once the cauliflower is done roasting, transfer to a serving platter.
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the warm roasted cauliflower.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
