  • 3 cups small cauliflower florets
  • 1 tbsp falafel spice (cumin, coriander, garlic)
  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp chopped dill pickle
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

How to Make It

  2. Stir the tahini with the lemon juice and a splash of water to a drizzle.
  3. Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.
  4. Pile the cauliflower on one arepa, spoon over the tahini, scatter the chopped pickle.
  5. Close with the second arepa, press gently, wrap in paper.

About This Recipe

Falafel spice — cumin, coriander and garlic — makes roasted cauliflower taste like the inside of a falafel wrap without the frying. Tahini binds it and chopped pickle keeps it bright.
