ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH FETA, ALMONDS AND OLIVES
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.

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.

SPICED ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH FETA AND GARLIC
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.

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.

Tips:
- Use a large baking pan to ensure that the vegetables have enough space to roast evenly. Crowding the pan will result in steamed vegetables rather than roasted ones.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes so that they cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook faster than larger pieces, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Toss the vegetables in olive oil and spices before roasting to coat them evenly and help them caramelize.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature (400°F or higher) to get a crispy exterior and tender interior.
- Keep an eye on the vegetables while they are roasting and stir them occasionally to ensure that they cook evenly and don't burn.
- Remove the vegetables from the oven when they are tender and slightly browned. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
- Serve the roasted vegetables immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or dressing.
