• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

1 large head cauliflower, (divided into florets)

1 large yellow onion, (halved and sliced)

2 tablespoons shawarma spice blend

Kosher salt

Ground black pepper

Extra virgin olive oil

Pita bread, (homemade or store bought)

3-Ingredient Mediterranean Salad

Tahini sauce

1 red onion, (halved and thinly sliced, or pickled red onion)

Cucumber pickles,

Directions

Get ready: Preheat your oven to anywhere between 450°F.

Season the vegetables: Place the cauliflower and onions in a large bowl and toss with the shawarma spice blend and a large pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and toss to make sure florets are coated.

Roast the vegetables: Spread the seasoned cauliflower and onions in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Cover the sheet pan with a large piece of foil. Bake, covered, on the center rack of your oven for about 15 minutes.

Caramelize the vegetables: Carefully remove the foil and allow the cauliflower to roast for another 25 to 30 minutes or so. Check occasionally to rotate the baking sheet and turn the cauliflower over using a pair of tongs. (Cauliflower should be very tender and caramelized or even charred in some parts).

Make the salad and tahini sauce: While the cauliflower is roasting, make the salad and tahini sauce.

Serve: Pile the roasted shawarma cauliflower on a pita and add a couple spoons of the salad, a few slices of sliced or pickled red onion, cucumber pickles (if using) and a drizzle of Tahini Sauce. Wrap the pita up and enjoy!
