1. 1Prepare the tahini sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine all of the ingredients for the tahini sauce (tahini, garlic, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, cayenne pepper).
2. 2Blend until combined.
3. 3(Tahini pastes can vary on how thick they are, if your sauce is thicker than you'd like, add a little warm water, a teaspoon at a time, until it thins out to the desired consistency.)
4. 4Set the tahini sauce aside (at room temperature or refrigerated) for at least 20 minutes to blend the flavors. Roast the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees f.
5. 5Place the cauliflower on a large baking sheet.
6. 6Drizzle with a couple tablespoons of olive oil, enough to coat, and sprinkle with salt to taste. Roast the cauliflower until the bottoms are golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Using a thin spatula, flip the cauliflower pieces, continue baking until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
7. 7Sprinkle with parsley (if desired) and serve with the tahini sauce.
