Ingredients
Cauliflower and Seasoning
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Tahini-Honey Sauce
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Pinch of salt
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the cauliflower roasts evenly and develops a golden-brown color.
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl to prepare for seasoning.
- Season the Cauliflower: Drizzle olive oil over the florets. Add ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly with the spices and oil.
- Roast: Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
- Make the Tahini-Honey Sauce: While the cauliflower roasts, whisk together tahini, honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Add a little water if needed to achieve a drizzling consistency.
- Combine: Remove roasted cauliflower from the oven and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle the tahini-honey sauce evenly over the warm cauliflower.
- Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and sesame seeds over the top to add freshness and a slight crunch.
- Serve: Serve the Moroccan cauliflower warm as a side dish or a light main course for a delicious and visually appealing meal.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup in the tahini sauce.
- If you prefer a thinner tahini sauce, add water a teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor in the sauce.
- Roasting time can vary slightly depending on oven; cauliflower should be tender and golden brown, not mushy.
- Sesame seeds can be lightly toasted for extra nuttiness before garnishing.
