Moroccan Cauliflower with Tahini-Honey is a vibrant roasted veggie dish featuring warmly spiced cauliflower topped with a creamy, sweet-savory tahini and honey drizzle. It’s bold, satisfying, and perfect as a side or light main.

Ingredients

    • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
    • 2–3 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tsp ground cumin
    • 1 tsp smoked paprika
    • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
    • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the tahini-honey drizzle:

    • 1/4 cup tahini
    • 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice
    • 2–4 tbsp warm water (to thin)
    • Pinch of salt

Optional garnishes:

  • Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread cauliflower on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy on edges.
  4. While roasting, whisk tahini, honey, lemon juice, warm water, and salt in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Adjust water as needed.
  5. Transfer roasted cauliflower to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with tahini-honey sauce.
  6. Top with fresh herbs, sesame seeds, and pomegranate seeds if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Add chickpeas before roasting for more protein.
  • Swap honey with maple syrup to make it vegan.
  • Serve over couscous or quinoa for a full meal.
  • Mix in harissa or red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Yogurt can be used instead of tahini for a different creamy finish.
