Ingredients
  

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets

3 tablespoons harissa paste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Tahini sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated.

      Mix in Seasonings: Add the harissa paste, cumin powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the florets are evenly coated with the harissa and spices.

        Roast the Cauliflower: Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and has crispy edges, stirring halfway through for even roasting.

          Finish with Lemon Juice: Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.

            Plate the Dish: Transfer the harissa roasted cauliflower to a serving platter. Drizzle tahini sauce over the top for an extra layer of flavor.

              Garnish: Finish with chopped fresh parsley to add a pop of color and freshness.
