Ingredients
 
 

For the cauliflower

  • 1 Cauliflower medium, cut into florets
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt or to taste
  • ⅓ teaspoon Black pepper or to taste
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • 3 tablespoon Olive oil or canola oil or vegetable oil

Tahini sauce

  • ⅓ cup Tahini raw tahini
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley freshly chopped
  • 5 tablespoon Water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an oven to 218c (425f) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the heart of the cauliflower and remove it. Then, cut it into even small florets. Wash them with water and rinse them well. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure that your cauliflower will turn crispy.
  • Add the cauliflower florets into a large mixing bowl and add paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
  • Toss until the cauliflower is coated with all the spices. Transfer them to a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a 218c (425f) preheated oven for 25-30 minutes flipping them halfway through.
  • Make the tahini sauce. In a small mixing bowl, add the raw tahini, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and water. Mix well until the tahini is well combined.
  • Spread ¾ of the tahini sauce on a large plate and spread it with a spoon. Top with the hot cauliflower and top it with the rest of the tahini sauce. Top with more chopped parsley and serve!

Notes

  • I highly suggest not overcrowding the sheet pan, cook it in batches if needed to make them cook properly.
  • Make sure to dry out the cauliflower with paper towels or a towel to make them crispy.
  • Ensure that you cut your cauliflower into even pieces so they will bake evenly. Make sure that every piece of cauliflower is about the same size of the florets.
  • Serve these immediately when they are hot and crispy for the best experience!
  • Use a hot preheated oven for the best results and for the best crispy cauliflower.
