SPICED ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH FETA AND GARLIC



Spiced Roasted Cauliflower With Feta and Garlic image

Cauliflower undergoes a few stages of cooking in this recipe, and, for a deep brown and ridiculous flavor, it's important to see it through all of them. It will be cooked through about halfway through roasting, but to transform it from pale and tender to crisp and golden brown, it must continue roasting at very high heat. Make sure to keep the smaller bits that fall away as you prepare and slice the cauliflower. They'll get the most golden and crunchy, almost like little cauliflower bread crumbs.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small head cauliflower
6 garlic cloves, smashed
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons fennel or cumin seed
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and ground pepper
1 ounce feta cheese, sliced or crumbled
¼ cup parsley, tender leaves and stems, coarsely chopped
¼ cup cilantro, mint or dill, tender leaves and stems, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Slice cauliflower lengthwise into ½-inch thick slices, including the core and leaves. (Some of the first slices will crumble and fall apart. This is O.K., and will be useful when you want those crispier bits.)
  • Place cauliflower (slices and crumbles) and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with fennel seed, turmeric and red-pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast, without disturbing, until cauliflower has turned a deep golden brown and crisped up in spots, 25 to 30 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the larger steaks and stir the smaller bits around and continue to roast until completely and evenly browned, another 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and transfer to a large serving platter. Top with feta, herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH FETA, ALMONDS AND OLIVES



Roasted Cauliflower With Feta, Almonds and Olives image

Roasted cauliflower is a pure delight, but tossing it with feta, toasted almonds and olives makes it even better. The additions come together while the cauliflower roasts, allowing you to assemble this side in no time. If almonds aren't available, walnuts or hazelnuts are good substitutions. This dish works well served warm, but it's equally good at room temperature if you want to make it ahead. Serve with grilled pork chops or pan-seared chicken thighs with lemon and herbs, or fold it into cooked grains, such farro or rice, for a hearty grain salad.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium head of cauliflower (about 2 1/2 pounds), cut into florets
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
Pinch of red-pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup roughly chopped almonds
1/3 heaping cup/about 2 ounces crumbled feta
1/2 cup pitted and roughly chopped green olives
2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley
1/2 lemon, to taste
Flaky salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with the olive oil. Season well with the salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes, if using, and toss again. Spread the mixture evenly onto a large sheet pan and roast until crisp and golden, about 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even browning.
  • Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to ensure they don't burn, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Once the cauliflower is roasted, toss it in a large bowl with the feta cheese, olives, half the almonds and 1 tablespoon parsley until combined. Top with remaining almonds and parsley, and lemon. Season with flaky salt, if desired.
