ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH LEMON ZEST, PARSLEY, CAPERS, AND JALAPEÑO



Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Zest, Parsley, Capers, and Jalapeño image

Roasted cauliflower has a nutty, sweet flavor that's hard to resist. My son has eaten it two or three times a week since he was three years old-that's a lot of cauliflower! To avoid a rut, I've added various flavors over the years, brightening the dish and spicing things up. The truth is, Jivan prefers the tried-and-true classic: EVOO, sea salt, and pepper. But for the grown-ups in my life, I've come up with this parsley, lemon zest, caper, and jalapeño combo. Just toss it with the cauliflower when it comes out of the oven-and don't forget to put some plain florets aside for the little ones.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head cauliflower, quartered, cored, and cut into bite-size florets
3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
Salt and freshly cracked pepper
1 lemon
1 large handful fresh parsley (about 1/2 cup/25 g), roughly chopped
1 tablespoon capers
1 jalapeño, seeded and thinly sliced
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with the oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast the cauliflower, tossing the florets halfway through, until they are deep golden and crispy, 30 to 35 minutes total.
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, use a vegetable peeler to peel 3 strips of zest from the lemon. Cut each strip crosswise into very thin slices. Cut the lemon in half, reserving one half and storing the other for another use.
  • Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving bowl. Top it with the parsley, capers, jalapeño, and sliced lemon zest. Squeeze the mixture with the lemon half and drizzle it with more oil. Toss to coat all of the ingredients, and sprinkle with a pinch or two of the flaky salt.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH CAPER BROWN BUTTER



Roasted Cauliflower with Caper Brown Butter image

Turn boring cauliflower into a delicious side when you top it with a caper and garlic brown butter. I like to cut my cauliflower into slices instead of florets, so there is more flat surface area for roasting and the topping doesn't slide off.

Provided by France C

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Cauliflower     Roasted

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium head cauliflower
3 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup salted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped capers
¼ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Trim off the bottom of the cauliflower stem to create a flat surface. Place cauliflower head onto a cutting board with the stem side facing down; cut the cauliflower vertically into 1 to 1 1/2-inch thick slices. Remove any tough stem pieces. Cut the slices into smaller pieces, about the size of florets. Place on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Roast in the oven for 10 minutes; flip pieces over and roast for 10 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, cut butter into 4 pieces. Melt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until butter begins to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Butter will foam up, then subside. The butter should have a nutty aroma. Stir in garlic and continue stirring for 15 to 20 seconds. Add in capers and lemon pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Spoon brown butter over the roasted cauliflower and serve.

CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH CAPER BUTTER



Cauliflower Steaks with Caper Butter image

These cauliflower steaks make a great side dish but are meaty and substantial enough to be the main event on your plate. (As an entree, the recipe serves 2.) Melting a compound butter on top is a classic steakhouse move. Make double the butter, roll it in parchment, twist the ends and freeze it, then slice off pats to flavor fish or steamed rice.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large head cauliflower (about 2 1/2 pounds)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon capers in brine, strained and chopped, plus 1 teaspoon brine
Zest of 1 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, put a baking sheet on it and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cut the cauliflower through the core into 1-inch-thick steaks. It's fine if some of the end steaks break into florets; just cook them along with the rest.
  • Put 2 tablespoons of the butter on the hot baking sheet, return the sheet to the oven and let the butter melt and bubble, about 30 seconds. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and tilt to coat it with butter. Arrange the cauliflower steaks and any stray florets on the baking sheet. Roast until the bottom of the cauliflower is dark brown and almost tender (a knife inserted in the steaks should meet a little resistance), about 12 minutes. Generously sprinkle the cauliflower with salt, flip with a spatula, sprinkle with salt and continue to roast until the cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes more.
  • While the cauliflower roasts, mash the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with a fork in a small bowl. Mash in the parsley, capers, caper brine, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and one grind of pepper. When the steaks are done, transfer them to a serving platter or individual plates. Dollop some compound butter on top of each steak and scatter any stray florets around them. Serve hot.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH HERB-CAPER SAUCE



Roasted Cauliflower with Herb-Caper Sauce image

This simple dish can easily be thrown together. For your next gathering, make the sauce a few hours ahead and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to serve. The cauliflower cooks quickly: Toss it in the oven to roast while the main dish rests.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large heads cauliflower (about 4 pounds total)
1/3 plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons drained capers in brine, rinsed
1 clove garlic
2 cups fresh parsley leaves
3 scallions, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Position 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cut the florets off of the cauliflower heads and cut into 1/2-inch pieces; put into a large bowl. Add 1/3 cup of the olive oil and toss to coat. Spread the florets out evenly on the 2 prepared baking sheets, without overlapping, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper between the two baking sheets. Roast the cauliflower until charred in spots and tender when pierced with a knife, 22 to 24 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the capers and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the parsley, scallions, lemon zest and juice and continue to pulse until the leaves are coarsely chopped. With the machine running, pour in the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil and process until the mixture forms a loose pesto--like consistency. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Transfer the cauliflower to a serving platter and the herb-caper sauce to a small serving bowl or ramekin. Serve the cauliflower with dollops of the sauce.

  • To prepare the cauliflower, pull and cut off the green leaves. Cut the head in half from the top to the bottom. Cut out the core, and then cut the top into smaller pieces leaving some stem attached. You want bite-sized florets that look like little trees of cauliflower.
  • Toss the cauliflower with olive oil and salt and place in the oven. Roast the cauliflower for 20 minutes.
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, puree the capers, garlic, vinegar, and parsley in a food processor. While the machine is running, drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
