Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A handful of fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Remove the leaves from the cauliflower head and cut it into small florets.
- Place the florets in a large mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together tahini, honey, olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of warm water until you reach a drizzle-able consistency.
- Pour the tahini-honey mixture over the cauliflower florets in the mixing bowl.
- Toss well until every piece is coated generously.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Moroccan cauliflower in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the best flavor and texture, try to consume it within this time frame.
Reheating: Reheat the cauliflower in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, heating in short intervals and stirring to ensure even warming.
Serving: Serve the Moroccan cauliflower warm, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. This dish pairs beautifully with couscous, rice, or as a side to grilled meats.
Chef’s Tip: For added depth of flavor, consider roasting the cauliflower florets separately before tossing them with the tahini-honey mixture. This will enhance their natural sweetness and create a delightful caramelized texture.
