Roasted Cauliflower with Toasted Almonds

This recipe has been inspired from the cook book “Eat Green” by Melissa Hemsley. It makes a great side dish to add if you have friends over for dinner, or simply as a quick add-in to a meal. The fusion of spices used for seasoning the cauliflower is just amazing! You’ll love it - Quick tip: I’d recommend making a big portion of the spice mix (name: chermoula) so that you can use it in stir fries or for seasoning a delicious winter soup.
