ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



Roasted Cauliflower image

Cauliflower is an excellent blank canvas. You can steam or blanch it to keep its essential flavors intact, but by roasting or sautéing it, you can bring out its sweetness. Cauliflower will absorb the oil and seasoning, soaking up flavors much the way eggplant does. But it remains firmer. Roasted cauliflower can be served warm or at room temperature. It can be part of an antipasto of roasted vegetables. Or an accompaniment to a roast chicken or lamb. And though they aren't obvious choices, scallops and lobster, both naturally sweet themselves, are delicious with roasted cauliflower.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound cauliflower, about 1 medium-large head, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Extra virgin olive oil, to coat
Sea salt
Coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place cauliflower in a large mixing bowl. Pour on enough olive oil to coat (a few tablespoons). Season generously with salt and pepper and toss gently until evenly coated.
  • Lay cauliflower pieces out on a baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining oil from the bowl on top. Bake, turning once, until caramelized on edges and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, as a side dish. You can also sprinkle it with a very good aged vinegar. Or, cut florets into smaller pieces and add to salads.

PAN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC, PARSLEY AND ROSEMARY



Pan-Roasted Cauliflower With Garlic, Parsley and Rosemary image

Nearly any vegetable tastes good browned in olive oil and showered with garlic, parsley and rosemary, but cauliflower is an especially good candidate for this technique. The inherent sweetness of cauliflower begs for a hit of lemon and hot pepper too. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     easy, quick, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium cauliflower heads (about 2 pounds)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon grated or finely minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon freshly chopped rosemary
1/2 cup roughly chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup roasted salted almonds (homemade or store bought), roughly chopped
1 red fresno chile, thinly sliced, for garnish (optional)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut each cauliflower in quarters and remove the core. Cut quarters into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Chop down wider slices so all are approximately the same jagged size.
  • Heat olive oil in a heavy wide skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add cauliflower and toss to coat using a metal spatula or flat wooden spoon. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Keeping heat brisk, repeatedly turn the cauliflower, letting the slices brown as they cook. Adjust heat as necessary to keep them sizzling nicely but not scorching. Continue to stir and flip the cauliflower until it is tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add crushed red pepper, garlic, rosemary, parsley and lemon zest. Stir well to coat and cook 1 minute more. Check seasoning, then transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with almonds and fresno chile, if using, and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Cut the cauliflower into florets of uniform size so that they cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not be as tender.
  • Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help to evenly coat the florets and prevent them from drying out.
  • Roast the cauliflower florets at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit or 220 degrees Celsius) for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • To make the garlic sauce, simply combine roasted garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Serve the roasted cauliflower with the garlic sauce as a side dish or appetizer.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Ambrosial Roasted Garlic Cauliflower is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted cauliflower is tender and slightly browned, while the garlic sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
