Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
Sauce
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 6 tablespoons harissa paste
- 3 tablespoons Sumo Citrus juice
Garnish
- Fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley or cilantro)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Harissa Mixture: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, harissa paste, and fresh Sumo Citrus juice, mixing well to create a bright, spicy dressing.
- Toss Cauliflower: Place the cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl and coat them evenly with half of the harissa mixture, ensuring every piece is covered.
- First Roast: Arrange the coated cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan, then roast in the oven for 20 minutes to start softening and browning.
- Flip and Coat Again: Remove the pan from the oven, flip the cauliflower florets over for even cooking, and brush the remaining harissa mixture on top. Return to oven.
- Final Roast: Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes or until the cauliflower is nicely browned and tender, bringing out the rich flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs for a fresh finish, and serve warm.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 400°F for 10 minutes to keep the cauliflower crisp.
Notes
- For a milder dish, reduce the amount of harissa paste or dilute with more olive oil.
- Sumo Citrus can be substituted with other juicy citrus fruits like orange or blood orange if unavailable.
- Ensure cauliflower is cut into even-sized florets for uniform roasting.
- Use fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or mint for garnish according to preference.
- Reheating in the oven rather than microwave helps maintain the crisp texture.
