Healthy Recipe of the Week

There are seemingly endless ways to prep and eat cauliflower: raw, roasted, stir-fried, mashed (as potatoes), and as a pizza crust, to name a few!

Quick tip for roasting: cut into slices (not florets). The flat surface will produce a flavor-rich browning!

Nutty Roasted Cauliflower 

Ingredients 

• (1) large or (2) small Cauliflower Heads (any color)
• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (separated)
• (1) Garlic Clove
• 1/2 cup Roasted, Salted Almonds (*may substitute for Smoked Almonds)
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese (grated)
• 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Directions 

 Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut the cauliflower into 1/2-inch slices. brush a large rimmed baking sheet with one (1) tablespoon olive oil. Spread the cauliflower on the baking sheet and brush with the remaining one (1) tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic to the center of the baking sheet. Roast on the lowest oven rack until the cauliflower is browned on the bottom and tender-crisp (20 – 25 minutes). Crush the roasted garlic into a paste, then chop with the almonds to combine. Toss with the parmesan cheese and black pepper, and sprinkle over the roasted cauliflower.

Yields: 4 servings

Preparation Time: 30 minutes
