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

- 1 cup hummus
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

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.
