Ingredients
  

  • 2 heads cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (or olive oil for vegan option)
  • 1 tablespoon zaatar
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 230 g labneh
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 unit juice of half a lemon

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or spoon for mixing
  • Parchment paper
  • Blender (optional for dressing)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, melted butter, zaatar, turmeric, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 30–40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the labneh by combining labneh, Greek yogurt (if using), garlic, fresh herbs, olive oil, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. To serve, arrange the roasted cauliflower on a platter and dollop the herb labneh alongside. Drizzle with extra olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider toasting sesame seeds or slivered almonds and scattering them over the finished dish. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven to retain crispiness. Doubling the recipe is a great idea as the flavors deepen overnight!
