Ingredients

1 medium cauliflower, separated into florets (7 to 8 cups)
1/3 cup olive oil
1 ½ Tbsp Rub Adom spice blend
3/4 tsp fine grey sea salt, plus more for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup labne or Greek yogurt
¼ cup chopped parsley
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl whisk the olive oil, Rub Adom spice blend, ½ teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cauliflower to the bowl and toss to coat. Spread the cauliflower evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast, stirring midway through, until tender and browned around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven to cool.
Whisk the labne, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, parsley and lemon zest in a bowl.
Spread the labaneh on a serving plate and top with the cauliflower. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
