Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 pieces Dates (pitted and chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut the cauliflower into small florets, discarding the tough core.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Spread the cauliflower evenly on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender.
While the cauliflower is roasting, toast the pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and transfer it to a serving bowl.
Add the chopped dates, toasted pine nuts, fresh parsley, and lemon zest to the cauliflower. Gently toss to combine.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful side dish or light meal.
