Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, cumin, coriander, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Make sure the florets are evenly coated.
3.
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through.

Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving dish.
7.
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the roasted cauliflower.
8.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish and added flavor. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a spicier dish, increase the amount of cayenne pepper.

If you don't have all the spices, you can use a pre-made Moroccan tagine spice blend.

The tahini sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.

Roasting time may vary depending on the size of the cauliflower florets and your oven.
