Whole Roasted Cauliflower

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the whole cauliflower and remove any leaves from the base.

  2. 2

    Season

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture all over the cauliflower, ensuring it is well coated.

  3. 3

    Roast

    Place the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 40-50 minutes, or until the outer layer is golden brown and the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.

  4. 4

    Toast Pine Nuts

    While the cauliflower is roasting, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top with toasted pine nuts, pomegranate seeds, and drizzle with schug before serving.
