Main Ingredients

1 head Cauliflower Any color cauliflower can be used.
2 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Substitute with avocado oil for a neutral flavor.
0.5 teaspoon Kosher Salt Adjust to taste or use sea salt as an alternative.
2 tablespoons Mild Harissa Substitute with sriracha for more heat.
2 tablespoons Tahini Substitute with sunflower seed butter if nut-free.
2 tablespoons Honey Maple syrup can be used as a vegan alternative.
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice Substitute with lime juice for a unique flavor twist.
0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper Use white pepper for a less visible garnish.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, mild harissa, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss them with the spice mixture until evenly coated.

Cooking

Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
In a small bowl, mix the tahini and honey until smooth.

Serving

Once the cauliflower is done roasting, drizzle the tahini-honey sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and enjoy!

Notes

This dish is best served warm. Pairs nicely with grains like quinoa or couscous for a complete meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
