Ingredients
  • 1 (2 lb.) head cauliflower, cut into even florets (about 6 cups)
  • 3 Tbsps. olive oil
  • Salt (1/8 tsp.) Black Pepper (1/16 tsp. or pinch)
Pesto
  • 1 cup packed cilantro leaves
  • ⅓ cup cashews
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1½ tsps. (3 cloves) garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • ½ tsp. each garam masala, salt
  • ¼ tsp. each Indian chili powder or cayenne, turmeric
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
  2. Place cauliflower florets in a 9 x 13 in backing pan and toss with 3 Tbsps. olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast 15-18 minutes stirring half way (I roasted mine 18 minutes).
  3. While the cauliflower roasts, make the pesto by combining all the ingredients in a food processor and blending. You may want to keep a few of the cashew chunky for added crunchiness.
  4. Toss pesto into roasted cauliflower. Garnish with cilantro and cashew pieces.
