Roasted Cauliflower With Feta, Almonds and Olives
NYTimes Cooking
Colu Henry

Yield: 4 servings

1 medium head of cauliflower (about 2½ pounds), cut into florets
3 Tbsp. olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
Pinch of red-pepper flakes (optional)
¼ cup roughly chopped almonds
⅓ heaping cup/about 2 ounces crumbled feta
½ cup pitted and roughly chopped green olives
2 Tbsp. finely chopped Italian parsley
½ lemon, to taste
Flaky salt (optional)

Heat the oven to 425o. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with the olive oil. Seasopn well with the salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes, if using, and toss again. Spread the mixture evenly onto a large sheet pan and roast until crisp and golden, about 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even browning. Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to ensure they don't burn, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Once the cauliflower is roasted, toss it in a large bowl with the feta cheese, olives, half the almonds and 1 tablespoon parsley until combined. Top with remaining almonds and parsley, and lemon. Season with flaky salt, if desired.
