Spicy Harissa Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 small head of cauliflower leaves trimmed

Harissa marinade:

• 1 ½ – 2 tbsp Harissa paste depending on how spicy you like it

• 3 garlic cloves

• 2 tsp ground coriander seeds

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 tsp sweet paprika powder

• 1 lemon juiced

• 1/2 red onion sliced into large chunks

• 3 tbsp Olive Oil

• ½ tsp salt more or less to taste

• Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.

  • Mix all ingredients for the Harissa marinade in a bowl and set to the side.

  • Add 1-inch water and a pinch of salt to a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the whole cauliflower with bottom down, cover and steam over medium heat for 4 minutes. Then let drain well in a colander and cool slightly until safe to handle.

  • Cut the cauliflower into chunky florets or slice into ‘steaks’. Then coat all sides with the marinade using a brush, let excess marinade drip off (otherwise it will burn in the oven) before transferring to an oven sheet, lined with Parchment paper . sprinkle red onion over the top.

  • Place on middle rack of the oven and roast for 20 minutes then flip them and roast for another 15-20 minutes or until nicely roasted. Enjoy!
