Cauliflower Shawarma

Ingredients

• •1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
• •3 tablespoons olive oil
• •2 teaspoons paprika
• •1.5 teaspoons cumin
• •1 teaspoon coriander
• •0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• •0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• •0.5 teaspoon salt
• •4 tablespoons tahini
• •2 tablespoons lemon juice
• •8 pieces pita bread
• •2 cups diced tomatoes and cucumbers

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. 2Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
3. 3Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.
4. 4Mix tahini with lemon juice and 2-3 tablespoons water to create a smooth sauce.
5. 5Warm pita bread in the oven or on a skillet for 1-2 minutes.
6. 6Assemble shawarmas by spreading tahini sauce on pita, adding roasted cauliflower, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
7. 7Serve immediately with extra tahini sauce on the side.

💡 Give cauliflower shawarma enough space on the pan to brown at the edges. Crowding traps steam and leaves the spices tasting raw rather than roasted.
