Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 head cauliflower (about 2 1/2 pounds), cored and broken into small florets
1 medium red onion, halved and cut into thin wedges
5 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
1/4 cup olive oil
4 slices white sandwich bread
12 ounces cavatappi or other short pasta
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving (optional)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

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.

WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH A PARSLEY SAUCE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



whole roasted cauliflower with a parsley sauce Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by TheCulinaryChase

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head of cauliflower
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
extra-virgin olive oil
parsley sauce -
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1 or 2 cloves garlic (make into a paste - instructions in note)
1 to 2 oil packed anchovies, minced
1 teaspoon or more of lime or lemon juice
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400f (200c). Grab a cooking vessel large enough to hold the cauliflower. Remove any manky-looking leaves and cut the stem off to help balance the vegetable. Place cauliflower in vessel and smother with olive oil (use your hands to massage it all over) followed by a generous grinding of sea salt and black pepper. Move to oven and roast 60 minutes or longer depending on how soft you like it. Allow the cauliflower to rest a few minutes before serving. While the cauliflower is roasting, make the sauce. In a small bowl combine all ingredients except olive oil. Slowly add olive oil while stirring until emulsified. Cut chunks of the cauliflower and distribute among plates. Drizzle with sauce and serve. The Culinary Chase's Note: To make garlic paste, chop garlic cloves and add a pinch of sea salt. Using the flat side of a knife, push the salt into the garlic. Repeat push and scrape movements back over garlic and within seconds you'll see how the chopped garlic quickly turns into a paste. Scrape up with the knife and add to the dressing. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose a large head of cauliflower that is tightly packed and has no brown spots.
  • Cut the cauliflower into florets of roughly equal size to ensure even cooking.
  • Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting to enhance their flavor and texture.
  • Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Make sure to stir the cauliflower florets halfway through roasting to promote even browning.
  • For the parsley sauce, use fresh parsley leaves for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have white wine vinegar, you can substitute lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
  • Season the parsley sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle the parsley sauce over the roasted cauliflower before serving.

Conclusion:

Roasted cauliflower with parsley sauce is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal. The roasted cauliflower is tender and slightly caramelized, while the parsley sauce is light and tangy. This dish is also very versatile and can be served as a side dish, main course, or appetizer.
