Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 cup Tahini paste
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
• 1 Garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons Parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat the florets evenly.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through.

Step 6

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini paste, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of water, maple syrup, and grated garlic clove until smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Adjust the consistency of the tahini sauce by adding more water if needed, 1 teaspoon at a time, until your desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.

Step 9

Drizzle the tahini sauce over the roasted cauliflower.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of paprika before serving.
