Moroccan Spiced Cauliflower Recipe

You know those times when you want it all? Savory, sweet, spicy, crunchy, creamy - and wish you didn’t have to choose?

Welcome to the beauty of Moroccan dishes. Most feature expertly-blended spices that satisfy that sweet and savory craving simultaneously. And when it comes to texture, well, this dish has it all.

Soft roasted cauliflower with crispy edges, complemented by tender sausage and crunchy pomegranate seeds, then drizzled in smooth almond butter sauce, it hits every texture and flavor profile. 

And best of all: even though the rich sweet and spiciness of this dish tastes like it took hours to prepare…it only takes less than 30 minutes. We save significant time using Paleovalley Grass Fed Beef Sticks instead of cooking up the sausage from scratch.

Whip up this flavor explosion any day of the week when you just can’t choose your flavor. This one will please every exotic craving.
