Honey and Orange Roasted Cauliflower with Tomatoes and Green Olives

Honey and Orange Roasted Cauliflower with Tomatoes and Green Olives

YIELD: Makes 4 to 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 head (about 1 3/4 lbs.) - cauliflower, separated into small (1/2-inch) florets

3 or 4 - ripe plum or other small tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch wedges

1/2 cup - onion, cut in 1/4-inch lengthwise slivers

1/4 cup - honey

1/4 cup - extra virgin olive oil

2 strips (each 4 x 1/2-inch) - orange zest, cut in julienned slivers

1 tsp. - dried oregano

1/4 cup - brine cured green olives, pitted and coarsely chopped

DIRECTIONS

Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let stand 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with baking parchment or aluminum foil.

Spread the drained cauliflower, tomatoes and onions in the prepared pan. Drizzle with the honey and olive oil. Sprinkle the orange zest and oregano on top.

Roast until florets are tender and tomatoes are shriveled and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the olives and serve. Serve either hot or at room temperature.
