Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Tahini
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets.

Step 4

Season the cauliflower with salt, black pepper, and paprika, then toss everything together to ensure the florets are evenly coated with oil and spices.

Step 5

Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender, turning once halfway through.

Step 7

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, and cumin.

Step 8

Whisk the sauce ingredients together until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more water until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 9

Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and place it on a serving platter.

Step 10

Drizzle the tahini sauce over the roasted cauliflower.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious side dish or light meal.
