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.

Tips:

  • Choose a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size, with tightly closed florets. Avoid heads with brown or yellow spots, as these are signs of age or damage.
  • To roast the cauliflower, toss it with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and then spread it in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned.
  • For the goat cheese sauce, use a fresh, soft goat cheese that is easy to spread. You can also use a crumbled goat cheese, but be sure to mix it with a little bit of milk or cream to make it smooth.
  • To make the lemon vinaigrette, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. You can also add a bit of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
  • To assemble the dish, place a bed of roasted cauliflower on a plate. Top with the goat cheese sauce, the lemon vinaigrette, and some chopped parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Roasted cauliflower with goat cheese and lemon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The roasted cauliflower is tender and slightly caramelized, while the goat cheese sauce is creamy and tangy. The lemon vinaigrette adds a bright and refreshing flavor to the dish. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
