Categories     Side

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large head cauliflower (cored and cut into florets (about 4 cups total))
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
kosher salt
black pepper (to taste)
1/4 cup pine nuts ((see notes))
1/4 cup golden raisins
juice and zest of one lemon
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread the cauliflower on the baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat. Spread cauliflower evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing once, or until browned and tender.
  • Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts (1/4 cup) carefully in a medium, dry skillet over medium heat. Keep an eye on them- they are easy to burn! Once they begin to turn fragrant and have a light brown color, add the raisins (1/4 cup), remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and lemon juice to the skillet. Cook for about one more minute on very low heat, or until raisins have softened and plumped a bit.
  • Turn off heat and stir in the parsley (1/4 cup) and lemon zest.
  • Toss the roasted cauliflower with the pine nut and raisin mixture. Serve immediately when it's warm, or allow to cool to room temperature so the flavors marry a bit. Add more salt and pepper if necessary.

PAN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH PINE NUTS, GARLIC AND ROSEMARY



Pan-Roasted Cauliflower With Pine Nuts, Garlic and Rosemary image

My BF found this recipe in a recent issue of Cottage Living, courtesy of Sara Foster. We both love cauliflower, and this recipe gives it a nice crunch and nutty taste. Another recipe to leave in the oven while you are taking care of the rest of dinner. We cut down the 1/4 cup olive oil to about a tablespoon. Leave it as is if you are not concerned about fat intake.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH PINE NUTS AND RAISINS



Roasted Cauliflower with Pine Nuts and Raisins image

A wonderfully-flavored vegetarian dish or side dish to a meat. Recipe is from Williams-Sonoma.

Provided by Daily Inspiration S @DailyInspiration

Categories     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 - heads cauliflower (about 3 pounds total)
4 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon(s) red wine vinegar
2 tablespoon(s) fresh lemon juice (zested first - see below)
3 tablespoon(s) raisins (soaked in boiling water for 30 minutes and drained)
2 tablespoon(s) fresh flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon(s) lemon zest
3 tablespoon(s) pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Core the cauliflower heads and cut into florets. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tbsp. of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until just tender - 25-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp. olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper and stir in the raisins.
  • Transfer the warm cauliflower to a serving dish and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with the parsley, lemon zest and pine nuts. To marry the flavors, let cool to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy exterior and tender interior.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs: This will add flavor and depth to the roasted cauliflower.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the cauliflower will steam instead of roast.
  • Roast the cauliflower until it is tender: You can check this by piercing it with a fork. If the fork goes in easily, the cauliflower is done.
  • Serve the roasted cauliflower immediately: This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Roasted cauliflower is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of fiber and vitamins. With its crispy exterior and tender interior, roasted cauliflower is a surefire crowd-pleaser. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give roasted cauliflower a try.
