Ingredients
1 small to medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 red bell pepper, chopped
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 8-ounce block halloumi cheese
2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained (liquid reserved)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup tahini, stirred
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon za’atar, plus more for sprinkling
Sliced cucumbers, pickled beets and flatbread, for serving
Directions
- Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the cauliflower and bell pepper with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast until just starting to brown, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the halloumi into 3/4-inch cubes and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Pat dry with more paper towels.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven; push the vegetables over. Add the halloumi and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast until the vegetables and halloumi are browned, 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the hummus: Combine the chickpeas, 1/2 cup reserved chickpea liquid, the garlic, tahini, lemon zest and juice, cilantro, za’atar, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor. Process, scraping down the food processor once or twice, until the hummus is creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add more chickpea liquid if the hummus is too thick; season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the hummus in shallow bowls. Top with the roasted vegetables, halloumi, cucumbers, pickled beets and flatbread. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with more za’atar.
