Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic
Roasted cauliflower with garlic, raisins and pine nuts adds a bit of sweetness to an already delicious way to cook cauliflower. Roasting cauliflower transforms the flavor and gives it a nice crunch along with the panko and pine nuts. Raisins sweeten the deal so that even your veggie haters will love it.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup golden raisins
- 1 head cauliflower
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º. Cover raisins with boiling water in a small bowl, let stand for 5 minutes until plump and drain.
- Cut cauliflower into equal-size florets and place in large bowl. Add pine nuts, olive oil and thyme and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer in a jelly-roll pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until edges of cauliflower are toasted.

Barbara's Notes + Tips
- You can use any type of raisin.
- If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use about ¼ teaspoon of dried.
- Try to make the pieces of cauliflower close to the same size so that they cook evenly.
