Roasting cauliflower in a very hot oven gives it an appealing crisp-tender texture and toasty flavor that pairs perfectly with the tart tahini dipping sauce in this dish.

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 tsp. ground cumin
2 heads cauliflower, cored and
   cut into 1 1/2'' florets
Kosher salt and freshly ground
   black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup tahini
3 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
   into a paste
Juice of 1 lemon


1. Heat oven to 500°. Toss together oil, cumin, cauliflower, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Transfer to 2 rimmed baking sheets; spread out evenly. Bake, rotating pans from top to bottom and front to back, until cauliflower is browned and tender, 25–30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, combine tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl and season with salt. Serve cauliflower hot or at room temperature with tahini sauce.
