Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, fresh with tightly packed florets
- 1/4 cup tahini, high-quality, preferably made from roasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey, pure
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander, fresh for maximum flavor
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, freshly cracked, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Remove the leaves from your cauliflower head and cut it into bite-sized florets.
- Rinse the florets under cold water to remove any grit.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
- Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast in your preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden.
Notes
Storage: Store leftover Moroccan Cauliflower in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the roasted florets, though the texture may change upon thawing.
Reheating: To reheat, place the cauliflower in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, heating in short bursts to avoid overcooking.
Serving: Serve the Moroccan Cauliflower warm, drizzled with extra tahini-honey sauce if desired. It pairs beautifully with grains like couscous or quinoa, or as a side dish to meat or fish.
Chef’s Tip: For added depth of flavor, consider roasting the cauliflower with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or adding fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving. This enhances the dish’s aroma and visual appeal.
