Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, oil, salt, coriander, oregano, and pepper and toss well to evenly coat the cauliflower with the oil and spices. Transfer to a sheet pan and arrange in an even layer, making spaces between the pieces as much as possible. Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 20 minutes, turning the tray and lightly tossing the pieces halfway through.
- While the cauliflower roasts, combine the tahini, miso, vinegar, and 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a small mixing bowl, and whisk until smooth.
- Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven, transfer to a mixing bowl, and toss with the sauce and sesame seeds to coat evenly.

Steps:
- For the cauliflower: Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. (If your cauliflower is large, preheat 2 baking sheets.)
- Whisk the flour together with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Toss the cauliflower in the mixture until evenly coated. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon the cauliflower into the baking sheet, leaving any excess sauce behind in the bowl. (Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or the cauliflower will steam and not become crispy; you may need to bake in batches or use two baking sheets.) Bake the cauliflower for 20 minutes.
- For the sesame sauce: Meanwhile, put the soy, honey, sesame oil, vinegar, cornstarch, sesame seeds, ginger, sriracha, garlic and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk together thoroughly. Bring to a boil, then reduce the temperature to medium-low and let simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce becomes glossy and thick, about 2 minutes. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss with half of the sesame sauce. Return the cauliflower to the oven until dark and glossy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a serving bowl and drizzle with more sauce. Add sesame seeds and scallions over the top and serve immediately.

ROASTED-CAULIFLOWER-AND SESAME SPREAD FROM CHEF JERRY TRAUNFELD
This was a completely new way of eating cauliflower I would not have come up with on my own, and it's very good! I will say I tried to make this in a blender, and I really wished I had a food processor because it was a much slower process. Chef Jerry Traunfeld from Seattle's Poppy says his way is to toast and grind whole coriander seeds before pureeing them with roasted cauliflower, tahini paste, lemon and cilantro. The easy way (as listed) is to use ground coriander from a bottle. I enjoyed some of this on top of cucumbers and some on top of pita chips. Jeff serves this with pita bread or chips.

Tips:
- Choose a cauliflower head that is firm and compact, with no signs of bruising or wilting.
- To easily remove the florets from the cauliflower head, cut it in half from top to bottom, then cut each half into quarters. Use a sharp knife to slice the florets off the stem.
- For the best roasted cauliflower, toss the florets in a combination of olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit or 220 degrees Celsius) for 20-25 minutes, or until the florets are tender and slightly browned.
- For the sesame spread, use a high-quality tahini paste. You can find tahini paste in most grocery stores, or you can make your own by blending sesame seeds in a food processor.
- The sesame spread can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before spreading it on the roasted cauliflower.
Conclusion:
Roasted cauliflower and sesame spread is a delicious and healthy appetizer or side dish. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, or any other casual gathering. The roasted cauliflower is tender and flavorful, while the sesame spread is creamy and nutty. Together, they make a winning combination that everyone will love.
