This Roasted Cauliflower with Chermoula recipe makes a quick and easy dinner option in our house.

Chunky and hearty cauliflower has a satisfying and filling texture which is ideal for meat-free dishes. Here I have added chickpeas to give this recipe a plant-based protein boost.

Chermoula is a North African spice paste that contains fresh coriander, cumin and lemon. If I have time I’ll make the chermoula from scratch but more often than not I use Belazu’s Chermoula which is super tasty and delicious.

You can serve this dish with couscous or quinoa (adding 1 tsp turmeric in for flavour).

Ingredients

600g cauliflower [1.3 lb]
4 tomatoes
400g can of chickpeas [14oz]
2 garlic cloves (crushed)
1 red onion
juice of 1 lemon
1 handful almond flakes
small bunch of coriander
Belazu's Chermoula (or your own)
salt & pepper
3 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C/390F/Gas 6.
Cut the cauliflower in smallish florets.
Place cauliflower on a baking tray. Mix in quartered tomatoes, crushed garlic and red onion (cut in 12ths).
Gentle toss in olive oil. Roast for around 20 mins until cauliflower is cooked (it should still have a bite). Make sure you give a stir after 10mins so vegetables cook evenly.
Place cooked vegetables in a serving bowl. Mix in drained chickpeas and lemon juice. Season to taste.
Add a handful of almond flakes on top plus plenty of freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve with chermoula dotted on top and a side dish of couscous or quinoa.

Thank you Annabelle that was delicious! I just happened to have bought a Belazu’s chermoula jar a couple of days ago and didn’t quite know what to do with it…. And then I come across your recipe! Very easy to make and very filling too with the couscous. I didn’t have enough cauliflower so I added some long stem broccoli together with the rest of tbe veggies and it worked really well. Will do it again! (must use that chermoula jar ;-))
