Ingredients

cauliflower:

  • 1 large head of cauliflower chopped into florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper

for the sauce:

  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp harissa
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3/4 tsp salt or more to taste

add-ins:

  • 3 medjool dates pitted; sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup pistachios roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425° and spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray, or line with parchment paper.
  • Add the cauliflower florets to a large bowl, then pour olive oil, salt and pepper overtop and stir to combine. Pour the cauliflower onto the prepared baking sheet, then roast it for 20-30 minutes, tossing halfway through until it's fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: whisk tahini, water, harissa, lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt together in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Once the cauliflower is roasted, pour it back into the large bowl from before. Pour the sauce overtop and toss to combine, then transfer it to a serving bowl.
  • Add the dates, mint, dill, and pistachios on top and enjoy!
