Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

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

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

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