Roasted Cauliflower And Whipped Feta Recipes

TURMERIC-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER BOWLS WITH WHIPPED FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425ºF. Combine 3 Tbsp. of the olive oil, turmeric, black pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and ginger in a large bowl; stir to combine. Add cauliflower florets and use a spatula to toss florets until thoroughly coated.Spread seasoned cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet, spacing out enough so there is no overlap. Roast for 20 minutes, tossing once at the 15 minute mark. (Note: move on to step 2 in meantime.)Combine soy sauce and honey (or maple syrup) in a small bowl. Remove cauliflower from oven and drizzle soy sauce mixture overtop; toss to coat. Place cauliflower back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
• While cauliflower roasts, prepare quinoa mixture by combining quinoa and broth in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and stir in parsley and lemon zest.
• Prepare whipped feta by combining feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and honey (or maple syrup) in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
• Combine arugula, remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl; toss to combine.
• Assemble bowls: Spread 3 Tbsp. whipped feta on the bottom of four bowls. Top evenly with quinoa, roasted cauliflower, and arugula. If desired, garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds, avocado slices, extra herbs, and/or a final drizzle of olive oil.

• While the cauliflower cooks, prepare the whipped feta.
• Add the feta and cream cheese to a food processor and blend until chunky.

• Transfer to a shallow dish and drizzle with additional olive oil.
• Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
• Once the cauliflower is done roasting, let cool slightly.
