Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- 3 dates
- ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon harissa sauce
- 2 tablespoon tahini
- 2 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- parsley optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut up the cauliflower, removing the core and leaves. Cut the remaining cauliflower into small florets.
- Place cauliflower in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- While cauliflower cooks, chop the dates into small pieces.
- When cauliflower is several minutes from being done, make your sauce. Add the harissa, tahini, water, honey, and garlic powder to a small skillet. Heat over low heat and stir or whisk to combine. Heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is warm and ingredients are combined.
- Plate the cauliflower and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Add dates, then drizzle the harissa sauce over the cauliflower. Top with parsley or any other fresh herbs.
