MEDITERRANEAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER ARTICHOKE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 F. Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Place on a baking sheet lined with silicon baking mat, drizzle and toss with olive oil and garlic, then sprinkle with salt and Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute or your favorite no-salt seasoning mix. Roast in the oven at 425 for 10 - 15 minutes, then stir and roast another 5 - 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and browned in spots. If you want to mellow out the onion flavor, you can add the onion in the last 10 minutes of roasting.
• While the cauliflower is roasting, put the remaining salad ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and then, in a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the salad dressing ingredients.
• Toss the cauliflower into the bowl and stir to mix everything together, then drizzle with some of the dressing and stir to coat. Add more dressing as needed until the salad is dressed to your liking.
• Crumble feta cheese over top and enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later. You can eat this cold or at room temperature, but personally, I feel it tastes best warm.

SPICE-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower and Jerusalem artichokes; toss them generously with olive oil and salt.
• In a small bowl, combine the cumin and cayenne and add to the vegetables. Toss well to thoroughly combine.
• Spread the veggies on a baking sheet in one even layer-use two baking sheets, if necessary. Roast 20 minutes, then stir the veggies so they have the chance to brown all over and rotate the pan to ensure even cooking. Roast another 20 minutes, then stir and rotate again.
• Roast the vegetables for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are brown, tender and smell wonderful-almost like popcorn! If they aren't lovely and brown, let them continue to roast for another few minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
• Remove the veggies from the oven, sprinkle with chives and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately.
