Cooking
  1. Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.

  2. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure you cut the cauliflower florets into even sizes for uniform cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven for a few minutes to regain crunch.
