Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan twist)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • to taste Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned cauliflower onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
Cooking
  1. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the florets are tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  2. While the cauliflower is roasting, whisk together tahini, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add a splash of water if it seems too thick.
  3. Once the cauliflower is ready, drizzle the tahini mixture over the florets and gently toss to coat. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serving
  1. Serve warm and enjoy your Moroccan-inspired creation!

Notes

For single servings, halve the recipe. Leftovers are great, but enjoy fresh for optimal taste. Feel free to substitute tahini with peanut butter for a different flavor.
