Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 0.25 cup toasted almonds
- 0.25 cup feta cheese
- 0.25 cup red onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
While the cauliflower roasts, finely chop the parsley and slice the red onion thinly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice to make the dressing.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a serving bowl.
Add the chopped parsley, sliced red onion, toasted almonds, and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl.
Drizzle the dressing over the warm ingredients and toss gently to combine.
Serve the salad while it's warm, either as a side dish or a light main course.
