Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower trimmed of leaves and cut into 1-inch thick pieces
- 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons almonds *See note
- 3 cloves garlic very thinly sliced
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons raisins *see note
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons capers drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon Italian parsley finely minced
Instructions
While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the toppings.
Assemble and Serve
Notes
- For more plump, juicy raisins, rehydrate them in boiling water or white wine for 5-10 minutes before using.
- Use sliced or slivered almonds to avoid having to chop after frying. They'll also cook more quickly and evenly than whole almonds.
- Pat raw cauliflower dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture before roasting for crispier edges.
- Make sure to arrange the cauliflower in a single layer on your baking sheet - overcrowding will steam rather than roast the florets.
- Add a dash of red pepper flakes or finish with parmesan cheese for even more flavor!
