Raise your hand if you love roasted vegetables! I know I do. It's my favorite way to cook them. Hence the vast amount of recipes for roasted veggies on my blog. The only way, in my book, to enjoy the flavors and textures of vegetables is to drizzle them with olive oil, toss with spices of choice and roast in the oven.

I have been playing with a homemade Shawarma seasoning blend recipe and it came out crazy delicious. I wanted to make a dish for our Meatless Mondays and the idea of tossing cauliflower florets in the olive oil and Shawarma seasoning mix had to happen. It was a hit!
WHAT TO SERVE WITH THIS CAULIFLOWER?
The easiest dip to accompany this deliciously roasted cauliflower is the Garlic Dill Dip. Simply stir together natural sour cream or Greek yogurt (or cocondeliciouso keep it plant-based) with minced garlic, dill, salt and pepper. We love it on flatbread with chopped tomatoes, lettuce and red onion and a drizzle of my super easy sauce (recipe below).
