Roasted Cauliflower with Chermoula

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Roasted Cauliflower with Chermoula is a vibrant, flavour-packed dish that’s as simple as it is delicious. The cauliflower is roasted until golden and crispy, then coated in a fragrant chermoula sauce for the perfect balance of smoky, zesty, and herby.

Roasted Cauliflower with Chermoula – A Bold & Flavourful Twist on a Classic Veg

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).

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Packed with Flavour – The combination of roasted cauliflower and zesty, herby chermoula sauce.

  • Perfectly Versatile – Serve it as a side, a light main, or pair it with grains, salads, or wraps.

    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 ;-))
