Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini

👨‍🍳 Method

To assemble

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2. 2
   Spread the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt and black pepper.

3. 3
   Roast 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway, until the cauliflower is tender inside and browned outside.

   OvenBaking pan

   💡A hot oven and room in the pan: crowded cauliflower steams instead of browning, and the sweet, toasty flavor never comes.
4. 4
   Mix the tahini, lemon juice and garlic and season with salt.
5. 5
   Gradually add cold water while stirring, until the sauce is smooth, pale and pourable.

   💡When you add the first water, the tahini thickens and looks like dough: that's fine. Keep adding water and stirring, and it loosens into a smooth sauce.
6. 6
   Transfer to a plate and drizzle the tahini sauce on top.
7. 7
   Sprinkle the parsley on top.
