how to make roasted cauliflower pitas
First, you'll want to cut the head of cauliflower into florets.
Next, season the cauliflower with a delicious combination of spices. I like to season the cauliflower with cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, and garlic powder.
These spices are a staple in my kitchen and I find myself using them all of the time.
Along with the spices, toss the cauliflower in olive oil. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
While the cauliflower is baking, make the garlic lemon tahini sauce.
For the tahini sauce you'll just need to mix together tahini, lemon juice, garlic, water, and parsley.
For serving
After the cauliflower is done roasting in the oven, it's time to assemble the pitas.
I like to warm the pita bread in the oven for a few minutes. This step isn't necessary. If your pita bread is a little stiff, this is a great way to awaken the bread.
I really like Atoria's Pita Bread. I usually order it in my Imperfect Foods box each week. It freezes great too!
To the pita bread, add the roasted cauliflower, greens and tomatoes.
Drizzle with the garlic lemon tahini sauce.
I love the combination of the tahini sauce with the roasted cauliflower.
