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.
