Ingredients & Substitutions
Harissa is a North African chili paste that can vary in heat, so feel free to adjust the amount based on your spice tolerance. If you can't find it, you can make your own with red peppers, garlic, and spices! Olive oil is my go-to, but any neutral oil works just fine here.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to reserve some of the harissa mixture to toss with chickpeas for a protein-packed addition. It’s a great way to make the meal more filling!
- •If you want a little extra crunch, try adding some chopped nuts or seeds on top before serving.
Recipe Variations
- •Feel free to experiment with spices! Sometimes I add a pinch of smoked paprika for an extra layer of flavor.
- •If you're feeling adventurous, try mixing in some diced bell peppers or zucchini with the cauliflower for a colorful medley.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. I love reheating mine in the oven to bring back that crispy texture!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other vegetables instead of cauliflower?
Absolutely! This harissa mixture works wonderfully with broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or even sweet potatoes. Just adjust the cooking time based on what you're using.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat will help the cauliflower get crispy and caramelized.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the harissa paste, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir it all together until it’s well mixed.
- 3
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss them in the harissa mixture until they're evenly coated. Make sure every piece gets that spicy goodness!
- 4
Spread the coated cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure the florets are in a single layer for even roasting.
- 5
Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender.
- 6
Once done, remove it from the oven, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
