Harissa Roasted Cauliflower
This harissa roasted cauliflower is inspired by the culinary techniques of Yotam Ottolenghi and Ixta Belfrage, turning a humble vegetable into a stunning centerpiece. The rich, buttery harissa marinade and slow roasting transform cauliflower into a dish that’s sweet, spicy, and almost meaty. Perfect as a vegetarian main or as a standout side dish, this recipe pairs beautifully with salads, crusty bread, or even as part of a mezze spread. A true celebration of Middle Eastern flavors!
