Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Trim the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets. Rinse and pat dry.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground cumin until evenly coated.

Spread the cauliflower in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the florets don’t overlap.
Step 5
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender.
Step 6
While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the harissa sauce. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of harissa paste, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Step 7
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving platter.
Step 8
Drizzle the harissa sauce over the roasted cauliflower or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
