Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Toss to coat the florets evenly.
Step 4
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through.
Step 5
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, crushed garlic clove, water, and paprika. Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency by adding more water if necessary.
Step 6
Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.
Step 7
Drizzle the roasted cauliflower with the tahini sauce, garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley, and serve promptly.
