EQUIPMENT NEEDED
- large sheet pan
Ingredients
- 2-3 bags of cauliflower pre cut, or 1 head of cauliflower cut into florets or steaks
- 3 tablespoons Harissa
- drizzle of avocado oil
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the cauliflower florets to a parchment or foil lined sheet pan.
- Drizzle the tops with avocado oil or olive oil, spoon the harissa evenly over the cauliflower, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using your hands or tongs, mix the cauliflower making sure they all get coated in the sauce.
- Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes or until crispy.
Notes
Tips
- Spread the cauliflower out in a single layer on the pan so it roasts instead of steaming. Crowded pans lead to soggy cauliflower.
- If you love extra heat, add a little more harissa halfway through roasting and toss gently before putting it back in the oven. For a milder version, mix the harissa with a bit more oil before tossing it with the cauliflower. The Mina brand has both a spicy and a mild version.
- Cutting the cauliflower into similarly sized florets helps everything cook evenly.
