Steps:
- Preheat the oven to anywhere between 450 to 475 degrees F (or 250 degrees C)
- Place the cauliflower florets on a large baking sheet. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and toss to make sure florets are coated, add more EVOO as needed but don't overdo it!
- Combine the cumin and harissa in a small dish. Season cauliflower with the spice mixture and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss again to combine. Spread cauliflower florets well on the baking sheet so that they are in one layer.
- Cover the baking sheet with foil and place on the middle rack of your heated oven. Roast covered for 15 minutes, then carefully remove the foil and return the baking sheet to the oven. Roast for another 20 to 30 minutes or so, occasionally rotating the baking sheet and turning cauliflower florets over, using a pair of tongs. (Cauliflower should be so tender and caramelized or even charred in some parts).
- If serving with tahini, use the roasting time to make tahini sauce according to this recipe.
- Remove from heat and carefully transfer roasted cauliflower to a serving dish. Immediately add the lemon juice, a little drizzle of tahini (if you like), toasted nuts and a little fresh parsley for garnish. If you're like me and want even more flavor, sprinkle a bit more harissa spice.
- Serve the tahini sauce in a bowl on the side for dipping.

SPICY CAULIFLOWER WITH GINGER, CUMIN AND TOMATOES
Cauliflower lends itself well to curries, and the combination of cauliflower and turmeric, an essential spice in curries, has an added health benefit for men. Studies sited on the World's Healthiest Foods website (whfoods.com), have shown that the main phytonutrient in turmeric (curcumin) and a phytonutrient that is abundant in cruciferous vegetables (phenethyl isothiocyanates), when taken together can be effective in preventing prostate cancer and also in inhibiting the spread of established prostate cancer cells. Serve this chile-laced stir-fry with rice or other grains, and with flat Indian bread.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the cauliflower with the oil, cumin seed, salt, and pepper. Spread the mixture in an even layer on a large baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and its edges are toasty, 20 to 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Look for fresh, firm cauliflower heads with tightly closed florets and no signs of yellowing or bruising.
- To keep the cauliflower white and crisp, blanch it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have cumin seeds, you can use ground cumin instead. Just add it at the beginning of the cooking process so that it has time to develop its flavor.
- You can adjust the amount of spice in this dish to your liking. If you want it milder, use less cumin seeds or cayenne pepper. If you want it spicier, add more.
- Cauliflower with cumin seeds can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's also great as a topping for salads, tacos, or burritos.
