Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Feta and Honey
This whole roasted cauliflower with feta and honey looks so impressive yet is so easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 4 garlic cloves cut into slivers
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp Greek honey
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves chopped
- 1/2 cup Greek feta crumbled
- 4 to 8 lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the leaves from the cauliflower. Cut the stem so it is level with the bottom of the head and is able to sit upright on the baking sheet.
- Turn the cauliflower upside down and gently stuff the garlic slivers between the florets all around the head.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, vinegar and half of the Dijon mustard. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
- Sit the cauliflower upright on the baking sheet and brush the entire surface with the olive oil mixture. Roast the cauliflower until dark golden brown and tender, about 35-40 minutes depending on the size of your cauliflower.
- Combine parsley and feta in a small bowl. After the cauliflower has cooked through, remove the head and brush the remaining 2 Tbsp of mustard on the surface. Rub with feta and parsley mixture and roast for 5 more minutes until feta melts.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges.Enjoy!
