Roasted Vegan Sausages With Cauliflower And Olives Recipes

ROASTED VEGAN SAUSAGES WITH CAULIFLOWER AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread the cauliflower on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil, cumin, salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes.
• Coat the sausages lightly with olive oil. Place on the same pan as the cauliflower. Roast, turning halfway through, until the sausages are golden and cooked through and the cauliflower is tender and caramelized, about 25 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, in a small pot, heat the vinegar until steaming. Stir in the honey or agave, garlic, Turkish chile and a pinch of salt. Add raisins and olives and let sit off the heat until serving.
• Place the sausages and cauliflower on serving plates. Spoon the raisin mixture on top. Taste a cauliflower floret and add more salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle with Turkish chile and fresh herbs, if using.

MEDITERRANEAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
• Combine olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground pepper in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 20 to 30 seconds. Watch carefully, and remove from the microwave when the oil bubbles. Set aside.
• Combine cauliflower florets, red onion, and red bell pepper in a large bowl. Pour in the olive oil mixture and stir until all the vegetables are coated. Spread out vegetables on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables reach the desired doneness, 20 to 25 minutes. Broil if you like additional color, carefully watching that the vegetables do not burn, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle sliced olives over the vegetables and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH PANCETTA, OLIVES AND CRISP PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well coated. Roast for 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together olives, garlic, lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt. Drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, whisking well.
• After the cauliflower has roasted for 15 minutes, add pancetta and cumin seeds to pan and gently mix to combine. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, until cauliflower is tender, the pancetta rendered, and cheese is golden brown and crunchy.
• Spoon olive dressing all over roasted cauliflower while still hot and toss to combine. Taste, and add more salt, red-pepper flakes or lemon juice, if needed. Scatter parsley over the top before serving.
