Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup hummus
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of ground cumin, 2 teaspoons of ground paprika, 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and salt and pepper to taste until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through.
