BEST ROASTED CAULIFLOWER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to anywhere between 450 to 475 degrees F (or 250 degrees C)
• Place the cauliflower florets on a large baking sheet. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and toss to make sure florets are coated, add more EVOO as needed but don't overdo it!
• Combine the cumin and harissa in a small dish. Season cauliflower with the spice mixture and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss again to combine. Spread cauliflower florets well on the baking sheet so that they are in one layer.
• Cover the baking sheet with foil and place on the middle rack of your heated oven. Roast covered for 15 minutes, then carefully remove the foil and return the baking sheet to the oven. Roast for another 20 to 30 minutes or so, occasionally rotating the baking sheet and turning cauliflower florets over, using a pair of tongs. (Cauliflower should be so tender and caramelized or even charred in some parts).
• If serving with tahini, use the roasting time to make tahini sauce according to this recipe.
• Remove from heat and carefully transfer roasted cauliflower to a serving dish. Immediately add the lemon juice, a little drizzle of tahini (if you like), toasted nuts and a little fresh parsley for garnish. If you're like me and want even more flavor, sprinkle a bit more harissa spice.
• Serve the tahini sauce in a bowl on the side for dipping.

• Mix the lime juice and zest with the garlic and oil. Put the cauliflower and cashew nuts in a roasting tin and pour over the lime and garlic mixture, mixing thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper.
• Roast in the oven for 10 minutes, then sprinkle over the parmesan. Roast for a further 10 minutes until the cashew nuts are golden-brown and the cauliflower has started to brown in places. Serve.
