Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Harissa paste
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets. Rinse and pat dry.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground cumin until evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the florets don’t overlap.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender.
While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the harissa sauce. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of harissa paste, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving platter.
Drizzle the harissa sauce over the roasted cauliflower or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness and serve warm.
