Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Thick slices of sourdough bread
  • Fresh cauliflower florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Olive oil, for roasting
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Smoked paprika, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings and Additions

  • Fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme
  • Lemon zest or lemon juice
  • Crumbled feta, goat cheese, or shredded parmesan
  • Crushed red pepper flakes or hot honey
  • Avocado slices (for vegan option)
  • Toasted pine nuts or chopped almonds
  • Fresh rosemary, dill, or basil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cauliflower: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until they are fully coated. Spread them out evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Roast to perfection: Place the cauliflower in the oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through. The cauliflower should be caramelized with golden, crispy edges while remaining tender inside.
  3. Toast the sourdough: While the cauliflower roasts, toast thick slices of sourdough bread until golden and crisp. You can use a toaster or grill them lightly in a pan with a bit of olive oil for added flavor.
  4. Assemble the toast: Pile the roasted cauliflower generously onto each slice of toasted sourdough. Optionally, add toppings like fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, or your favorite cheese to finish the dish.
  5. Serve immediately: Enjoy your Roasted Cauliflower Toast with Sourdough fresh for the best combination of flavors and textures!

Notes

  • Use thick bread slices to ensure the toast holds the toppings without becoming soggy.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to allow cauliflower to roast evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
  • Flip the cauliflower halfway through roasting to ensure even browning.
  • Add fresh herbs just before serving to maintain their vibrant flavor.
  • Experiment with spices like cumin, turmeric, or za’atar for different flavor profiles.
