Ingredients

• 500 grams Cauliflower florets
• 3 medium Carrots
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and slice carrots into thin, diagonal rounds.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets and carrot slices to the bowl, tossing to coat them evenly with the marinade.

Step 5

Spread the vegetables out onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are golden and tender.

Step 6

While the vegetables roast, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, and a splash of olive oil. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.

Step 7

Chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves finely and set aside.

Step 8

Once the vegetables are done roasting, let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

In a serving bowl, combine the roasted vegetables, lemon dressing, and chopped parsley and mint. Toss gently to mix.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
