👨🍳 步驟

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
💡 專業提示: Ensure the oven is fully preheated for optimal roasting. - 2
Prepare the cauliflower: Remove the green leaves and slice the bottom flat so it can stand upright. If the cauliflower is very large, you can cut it into thick steaks.
💡 專業提示: A flat base ensures even cooking and presentation. - 3
In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, 3/4 tsp salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture all over the outside of the cauliflower, ensuring it's well-coated.

Place the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the outer leaves are browned and tender when pierced with a fork. If cutting into steaks, roast for about 20-25 minutes per side.
💡 專業提示: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even cooking. - 5
While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the tahini sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, minced garlic, remaining 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 cup water. Add more water, 1 tbsp at a time, until the sauce reaches a pourable consistency.
💡 專業提示: The sauce should be smooth and easily drizzled. - 6
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the tahini sauce.
💡 專業提示: Serve immediately while warm. - 7
