Roast the Cauliflower:

In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Add warm water a little at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. It should be smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Dish:
Once the cauliflower is roasted, drizzle the tahini-honey sauce generously over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and extra flavor.
