Method

Preparation of Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into florets, about 1-2 inches in size. Make sure they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Cauliflower

    In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the cauliflower is evenly coated with the seasoning.

Cooking the Cauliflower

  1. 3

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is charred and tender, turning halfway through cooking.

Preparing the Tahini Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Tahini Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, and salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.

Serving the Dish

  1. 5

    Serve the Charred Cauliflower

    Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and toasted pine nuts before serving.
