Cauliflower Shawarma

Jun 20, 2026 (Leave a Comment)

I have to warn you if you're a cauliflower fan, this is what I consider cauliflower crack. The blending of spices and the roasting of red onions and cauliflower makes for an amazing veggie dish. I have a recipe for chicken shawarma, and technically shawarma is a carnivore dish, but this is a worthy swap.

In the photo above, I created a shawarma hummus bowl with cauliflower shawarma, creamy hummus, a chopped salad, and some pickled red onions. I prep all the bowl components ahead of time and then pull them out of the refrigerator and combine. I prefer to warm up the cauliflower shawarma, but everything else is either cold or room temperature when served. So easy!

A little tip about blending the cauliflower and onions with oil and spices: I toss them between bowls to make sure the veggies are well-coated. And I used salad tongs to shuffle and move them around.

I kept the spice profile simple, but feel free to add some black pepper and definitely be generous with the salt and spices.

    Hi Shanna, they do freeze well when sealed to prevent moisture loss.
