Print Recipe

A vibrant and nourishing Mediterranean-inspired bowl featuring creamy hummus, spiced roasted cauliflower, and fresh toppings for a flavorful plant-based meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa or couscous
  • 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional: crumbled feta cheese (omit for vegan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread cauliflower on the baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
  4. While cauliflower roasts, prepare bowl ingredients: cook quinoa or couscous if not already done, and chop vegetables.
  5. To assemble, spread a generous scoop of hummus on the bottom of each bowl.
  6. Top with a portion of quinoa or couscous, roasted cauliflower, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, and parsley.
  7. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with feta if using.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use different grains like bulgur or farro for variation.
  • Spice up the cauliflower with chili powder or harissa for heat.
  • Great for meal prep—store components separately and assemble before eating.
  • Try with beet hummus or roasted red pepper hummus for a flavor twist.
