📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the whole cauliflower into a saucepan large enough to hold it comfortably, cover with cold water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a rolling boil and leave to cook for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Then use a large slotted spoon to carefully remove the cauliflower onto a baking tray — it will be soft at the edges but still sturdy and whole. Leave to steam dry for ⏱️ 10 minutes, then carefully pour away any excess water that has seeped out onto the baking tray.

While the cauliflower is steam drying, preheat the oven to 220°C / 200°C fan / 430°F. Place the turmeric, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt and olive oil into a small bowl and whisk to combine.

Use a pastry brush or clean hands to brush the spice mix all over the cauliflower. Then place the cauliflower into the preheated oven and bake for ⏱️ 20 minutes.

While the cauliflower is roasting, make the herby tahini sauce. Place all of the chopped herbs into the bowl of a food processor, reserving a small amount of each for garnish. Add the salt and lemon juice and begin to process. Spoon in the tahini and stream in the olive oil. The mixture will seize slightly, but add spoonfuls of water until it turns runny and pourable again — about 4–5 tablespoons should do it. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
