- Prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl add the tahini paste.
- Add the garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Combine. Note that the sauce will be very thick.

- Toast the pistachios, if using, and set aside.
- Place the roasted cauliflower in a serving bowl. Top with the pistachios. Serve with the tahini sauce either on the side or poured over the cauliflower.
Notes
Don't overcrowd your cauliflower on the sheet pan. The cauliflower will crisp better if there is room. Stir the tahini paste before you use it. It will have clumps on the bottom. When making the tahini sauce, you can loosen it by adding more water or lemon juice. If it's too loose, add more tahini.
