Method
- 1
Toss the cauliflower with the oil, cumin, paprika and salt until evenly coated.
- 2
Heat the air fryer to 190C. Cook the cauliflower in the basket in two batches, if needed, so it is not crowded.
- 3
Cook for 14 to 16 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes, until deeply browned at the edges and tender when pierced.
15 min - 4
While it cooks, whisk the tahini, lemon juice and garlic in a bowl. It will thicken at first; keep whisking in the water until smooth and pourable. Add a pinch of salt.
- 5
Pile the hot cauliflower on a plate, drizzle with the tahini sauce and scatter over the parsley.
