At the time of writing this post, I’ve been vegan for almost two years and I have truly enjoyed exploring so many amazing fruits and vegetables. Now, cauliflower has certainly had its moment along with kale and avocados and I’m still enjoying them all. To be honest, I don’t eat cauliflower as much as I do other vegetables. But, I do enjoy cauliflower in a variety of ways. Especially, roasted cauliflower;-)

Simple Whole Roasted Cauliflower Ingredients

  • Grapeseed oil (or any other neutral cooking oil)
  • Sea Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Lemon Juice

What’s in this Harissa Dip

  • Mina’s Mild Harissa Sauce
  • Cashews
  • Almond Milk (or any other milk of your choice)
  • Sea Salt
  • Maple Syrup

How to Make Whole Roasted Cauliflower

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Bake the cauliflower an hour to an hour and a half, depending on how big it is, until it’s crispy and it turns to a beautiful brown color on the outside and tender on the inside.

Once cooked, spread the harissa sauce over a plate and place the roasted cauliflower on top. Or, cut the cauliflower into slices and add sauce on top.
