Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Seasonings

  • 1 large head of 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

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Water, as needed to adjust sauce consistency

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a high temperature for perfectly roasted cauliflower with a nice golden crust.
  2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Cut the large head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl, ready for seasoning.
  3. Season the Cauliflower: Drizzle olive oil over the florets and sprinkle with ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the cauliflower is evenly coated with the flavorful spices.
  4. Roast: Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the florets are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Prepare the Tahini-Honey Sauce: While the cauliflower roasts, combine tahini, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy, adding a little water gradually if needed to reach a pourable consistency.
  6. Combine: Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving bowl and drizzle the tahini-honey sauce evenly over the warm cauliflower to coat each bite with luscious flavor.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and sesame seeds over the top to add a fresh pop of color, texture, and taste.
  8. Serve: Enjoy this delicious Moroccan Cauliflower with Tahini-Honey warm as a side dish or a light vegetarian main course, perfect for any meal occasion.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup without altering taste.
  • Adjust seasoning salt and pepper to your preference for milder or stronger flavors.
  • Ensure cauliflower florets are evenly sized to cook uniformly.
  • The tahini sauce can be thinned with water or lemon juice to achieve desired consistency.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
