Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. Step 2

    Cut cauliflower into 1.5-inch florets. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin on a large baking sheet.

  3. Step 3

    Spread cauliflower in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until florets are golden and crispy at the edges.

  4. Step 4

    While cauliflower roasts, whisk tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, warm water, and salt together until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed for desired consistency.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer roasted cauliflower to a serving platter and drizzle generously with tahini sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Garnish with fresh parsley, pomegranate seeds, toasted pine nuts, and lemon wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
