Pan Roasted Cauliflower With Kale Pesto And Feta Recipes

Steps:

• Make the pesto: Heat oven to 350 degrees, and bring a medium pot of heavily salted water to a boil.
• Spread almonds in a single layer on a small, rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool, then transfer to a blender.
• When water comes to a boil, add kale leaves and blanch until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well and transfer to blender with almonds.
• To the blender, add parsley, pecorino, 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth, adding more water if needed to allow the mixture to move. With blender running, drizzle in oil until mixture is emulsified and smooth. Taste and add more salt and lemon juice, if desired.
• Prepare the cauliflower: Add 2 tablespoons oil to a large, cold skillet. Arrange cauliflower in an even layer in skillet and sprinkle with salt to taste. Place skillet over medium-high heat and cook, without moving, until cauliflower is seared and dark brown on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip cauliflower over and briefly cook on the other side until just tender but not mushy, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle with a generous drizzle of olive oil, lemon zest, colatura and merkén.
• To serve, spoon pesto onto a large serving platter. Top with hot cauliflower, feta, sumac, mint and tarragon. Sprinkle with more lemon zest and oil, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange 3 oven racks evenly spaced in the oven.
• Lay each kale leaf on a board and, with a small sharp knife, cut out the hard stem. Tear large leaves in half. Place the kale in a large bowl of water and wash it well. Drain the kale and dry it in a salad spinner. Dry the bowl, and put the kale back in the bowl.
• Toss the kale with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Divide the kale among 3 sheet pans or roast them in batches. If you put too much kale on one pan, it will steam rather than roast and will never become crisp. Roast for 15 minutes, until crisp. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Slice cauliflower lengthwise into ½-inch thick slices, including the core and leaves. (Some of the first slices will crumble and fall apart. This is O.K., and will be useful when you want those crispier bits.)
• Place cauliflower (slices and crumbles) and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with fennel seed, turmeric and red-pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast, without disturbing, until cauliflower has turned a deep golden brown and crisped up in spots, 25 to 30 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the larger steaks and stir the smaller bits around and continue to roast until completely and evenly browned, another 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and transfer to a large serving platter. Top with feta, herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Trim the leaves of the cauliflower and then slice into thick steaks. Then cut each in half. Place on a large plate in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup buffalo sauce. Rub the cauliflower pieces on both sides, and place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, to one side.
• In a small bowl, toss together the chickpeas, the rest of the spices, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until evenly combined. Pour out on the baking sheet off to one side.
• Roast until the chickpeas begin to get crispy, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and place the kale leaves on the baking sheet, on the empty side. Drizzle the top with the remaining olive oil and season with the remaining salt and pepper.
• Return to the oven and continue to roast until the kale is crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place the kale and onion on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with the oil.
• Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
• Roast the kale and onion in the oven until it begins to wilt, about 5 minutes.
• Stir the kale, then sprinkle with the feta and continue cooking until the feta is browned, about 10 minutes more.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
