### Ingredients:
#### For the Roasted Cauliflower:
– 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
– 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
– 1 tsp ground cumin
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
#### For the Tahini Sauce:
– 1/2 cup tahini
– 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 3 tbsp water (or more as needed to thin the sauce)
### Instructions:
#### Roasting the Cauliflower:
1. **Preheat Oven**: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. **Prepare Cauliflower**: Place the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet.
3. **Season Cauliflower**: Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower. Sprinkle with ground turmeric, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the cauliflower evenly.
4. **Roast Cauliflower**: Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through the cooking time.

2. **Adjust Consistency**: Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. It should be smooth and pourable. Add more water if needed.
#### Serving:

2. **Drizzle with Sauce**: Drizzle the tahini sauce over the roasted cauliflower.
