How to Make Moroccan Cauliflower With Spices

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned, stirring halfway through.
  6. Alternatively (for the salad version): Steam the cauliflower florets until tender-crisp (about 8-10 minutes). Once cooled slightly, gently toss with the remaining ingredients (excluding flour and water).
  7. For either version: Taste and add more olive oil if needed. Serve warm or cold.
