Shawarma cauliflower bowls are a tasty and healthy dish featuring roasted cauliflower and chickpeas seasoned with shawarma spices. Drizzled with green tahini sauce, these bowls are perfect for a flavorful meal.
Clean the cauliflower head and dice it into florets. Don't make small pieces; keep them a little larger florets.
Take out a can of chickpeas and rinse them with clean water.
Add cauliflower and chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Wipe the cauliflower and chickpeas with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water from the bowl.
Now add the seasoning along with olive oil. Toss to coat them well with the seasoning.
Preheat the air fryer to 190 F for 3 minutes.
Then, transfer the seasoned cauliflower and chickpeas to the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 15 minutes at 380 F (190 C). For the last 2 minutes, increase the temperature to 400 F (200 C) if you like the florets a little charred.
Lemon Herb Tahini
Blend all ingredients (tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs like cilantro and parsley) in a food processor until smooth. Add a jalapeno or serrano pepper for a kick of heat, though that's optional and as per preference.
Prepare Shawarma Bowl
In a deep bowl or a plate, add cooked rice.
Top it with roasted cauliflower and chickpeas.
Add some diced cucumber, tomatoes, and onions.
Drizzle the green tahini sauce over it with an extra sprinkle of lemon juice and a pinch of shawarma spices.
Serve the shawarma bowl immediately.
Notes
You can also cook the chickpeas at home only. Soak the chickpeas for 8 - 10 hours. Then, cook them in an instant pot or manual pressure cooker.
