The Method

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Make sure the florets are evenly coated.
3
Spread the seasoned 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.
5
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and water. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. It should be easily drizzled.
6
Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.
7
Drizzle generously with tahini sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh parsley (if using).
8
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a clove of minced garlic to the cauliflower before roasting.

Adjust the amount of chili powder to your spice preference.

If you don't have tahini, you can use a similar nut butter like cashew or almond butter.

For a more intense flavor, broil the cauliflower for the last 2-3 minutes of roasting, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
