Been a while since we've used the oven, but it is September after all. Here’s an easy one to get you back in the roasting groove.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and toss with some olive
oil in a large bowl before spreading evenly on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Liberally salt and pepper then bake at 425 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
While that’s cooking, slice a dozen or so pitted dates in
half, toss in a little bit of oil, and place them in a heavy skillet over
medium low heat. It doesn’t take long, so keep an eye on them, and stir
occasionally. You’ll know they’re done when they all start to caramelize around
the edges.
To serve, combine the cauliflower, dates, some toasted
almond slivers or slices, and lots of chopped mint. And as always, salt and
pepper to taste.
