<\/p>\nInspired by Lebanese batata harra, which has always been one of my favorite dishes, arnabeet harra is a delicious twist on the classic. In this version, cauliflower replaces the traditional starchy potatoes.<\/p>\n
Arnabit Harra (also known as Arnabeet Harra) features crispy cauliflower tossed in a spicy, tangy, and herb-filled sauce. The name literally translates to \u201cspicy cauliflower\u201d in Arabic. When prepared properly, cauliflower makes a wonderful low-carb alternative to potatoes. This recipe is so delicious, you will be fighting over the last portion!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First, roast the cauliflower until nicely browned. Then, cook the crushed garlic in warm olive oil until fragrant. Add the chopped cilantro and saut\u00e9 for about 1 minute, until the cilantro wilts and reduces in volume.<\/p>\n
Stir in the red pepper paste, stirring constantly until the paste darkens slightly and blends well with the oil.<\/p>\n
Add the roasted cauliflower florets and gently toss to coat them evenly with the garlicky red pepper paste. Finish with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice.<\/p>\n

Use fresh cauliflower and avoid frozen cauliflower.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Cut the florets into similar-sized, bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
You can fry the cauliflower instead of roasting it in the oven. I assure you, it tastes even better! However, I have been more health-conscious these days and am trying to replace deep-fried foods with healthier alternatives.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
You can make our red pepper paste recipe on the blog or use store-bought red pepper paste.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Lebanese cauliflower harra is a special and indulgent treat, and this recipe is completely vegan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\n
You have two options: you can air-fry the cauliflower or roast it in the oven.<\/p>\n
Arrange the cauliflower florets in a single layer in the air-fryer basket. You will need to cook them in batches.<\/p>\n
Air-fry the florets, turning them about halfway through, until they are completely tender and the edges begin to turn golden brown, about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the cauliflower florets in a single layer. Drizzle lightly with olive oil or sunflower oil.<\/p>\n
Roast in a preheated oven at 200\u00b0C\/400\u00b0F for 22 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the cauliflower florets. Return the cauliflower to the oven and roast for another 22 minutes.<\/p>\n
Flipping the cauliflower halfway through roasting is essential for achieving beautifully golden, crispy edges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
