Preheat oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, coriander, and cayenne until combined.

Step 3

Add cauliflower to a large bowl and coat with olive oil. Drizzle with maple syrup. Add in all the seasoning and toss to coat the cauliflower in the oil and spices.

Step 5

While cauliflower roasts, make the sauce. Add all ingredients for the green tahini to a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 6

Taste cauliflower when it comes out of the oven to see if it needs a sprinkling of salt.

Step 7

Serve cauliflower topped with green tahini, sesame seeds, and pomegranate.
