Cutting cauliflower into thick, meaty slices, core and all, is a neat trick. So is roasting it, which brings out the best in this vegetable, caramelizing its edges and playing up its nuttiness. A briny olive vinaigrette adds just the right sharp-savory note.
我ngredients
Makes 4 (side dish) servings
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in lower third.
Step 2
Cut cauliflower lengthwise into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Put in a large 4-sided sheet pan and toss with 2 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Roast, turning once or twice, until golden and just tender, about 25 minutes.
Step 3
While cauliflower roasts, mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then whisk together with lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, olives, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Serve cauliflower drizzled with Kalamata vinaigrette.

This is terrific! Easy enough for any weekend. Delicious enough for company. Use good quality olives. It just also happens to be visually appealing, healthy and vegan.

Roasted cauliflower was delicious. The olives tapenade was too overpowering, so next time I'll just serve it on the side

我make this on a regular basis and my husband LOVES it. I have even converted cauliflower and olive haters! The flavors just work so well together and the cauliflower is really tasty when roasted. Just cant fault this one.

Beautiful. Delicious. I use an electric knife to cut the raw cauliflower, and I usually buy extra heads if I am serving this to company and want more than 3 perfect slices.

我am a meat eater who eats this dish regularly as a main course or side. Great for a dinner party as it needs no last minute attention beyond drizzling the olive tapanade

This recipe is amazing! Roasting the cauliflower, and cutting it into "steaks" rather than florets, gives it such a great flavor and texture.

Perfect! I make this as a vegan dinner by just adding a can of beans (either kidney beans or checkpeas taste great!!) A weekly meal in our house!!
