1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare one medium head of cauliflower by slicing through the stem halfway and pulling apart, then cut into medium bite-sized florets. Trim and cube the tender stems if desired.
2
Transfer the cauliflower florets to a large mixing bowl. Add the chili oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, turmeric, cayenne pepper, cane sugar, and salt. Toss thoroughly to coat all the pieces evenly.
3
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and crispy at the edges.
4
While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the sauce by combining plant-based mayo, fresh lime juice, tahini, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Stir until well blended. If the sauce is too thick, add a small splash of water to reach a drizzle-friendly consistency.
5
Once the cauliflower is done roasting, plate it and drizzle the sauce generously over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
