Roasted Cauliflower With Sun Dried Tomatoes Capers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Toss the cauliflower with the olive oil, garlic, and red pepper on a baking sheet; sprinkle with the salt and thyme and toss again. Roast until golden and tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. On a sheet pan, combine the cauliflower, ¼ cup of the oil, and 2 teaspoons of the salt, then give it all a toss to coat. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer and roast, without stirring, until deep golden, roasty, and tender but with a soft crunch to the stems, 10 to 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat the remaining ½ cup of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmery. Add the garlic and the remaining pinch of salt and cook until the garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers, and chile flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, just until it's all warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• When everything is ready, put the cauliflower in a big bowl and pour in the contents of the skillet, including the flavorful oil. Add the basil and parsley, use a microplane to grate in the lemon zest, then halve the lemon and squeeze in the juice. Stir really well and transfer to a platter to serve. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients; toss to coat. Transfer to an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 425° until tender, 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Trim head of cauliflower and cut into bite-sized florets.
• Dry cauliflower well.
• Drizzle with olive oil (you may need more than 2 T) then sprinkle with garlic salt, pepper, and chile powder.
• You can adjust seasonings according to your personal preferences.
• Toss cauliflower until seasonings are well distributed.
• Pour into a greased baking pan and bake for 20- 25 minutes, stirring once or twice.
• Cauliflower should be a dark, golden brown when baking is completed.
• Remove from oven and pour into a serving dish.
• Top with balsamic vinegar and toss well.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 450 degrees.
• Trim any wilted leaves and brown bits off the cauliflower, but leave healthy leaves. Put the cauliflower on its side on a cutting board. As if coring a tomato, core the base of the cauliflower: insert a small sharp knife about 1 inch into the base of the stem, make a circular cut to loosen the cone-shaped core, then pry it out and discard.
• In a deep, heavy ovenproof pot (with a lid), large enough to hold the whole cauliflower, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower cored side up; it should sizzle. Brown the exterior, turning it occasionally with tongs for even browning. This should take about 5 minutes; reduce the heat as needed to prevent scorching. Carefully turn over and brown the other side lightly, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the cauliflower to a plate and add garlic, anchovies and rosemary to the pot. Stir until garlic is golden, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, white wine, chiles and salt. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Return cauliflower to pot, cored side down. Baste with the tomato liquid and pile some of the solids on top. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes to thicken the tomatoes.
• Cover the pot, place in the oven and roast until tender, 30 to 45 minutes; a knife will go into the thick stems with almost no resistance. Check on the tomato sauce every 10 minutes or so; it should be punchy and intense but not too thick, so add a glug of wine if it seems to be getting too dry.
• Transfer the cauliflower head to a serving plate or shallow bowl and cut in half, quarters or thick slices. Spoon on all the tasty stuff left in the pot. Add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of herbs. Serve immediately or at room temperature, passing salt and red pepper flakes at the table.
