Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400F;
  • Trim the bottom of your cauliflower by removing all the leaves;
  • Place the cauliflower in a pot of water with salt (about 1 tablespoon of salt or you can also use stock instead - this will allow the cauliflower to get season on the inside);

  • Either drain your cauliflower or remove it with the heavy duty fork and place in the cast iron skillet;
  • Pour olive oil all over your cauliflower;
  • Add paprika, cumin, garlic powder and salt into a small bowl and mix well;
  • Sprinkle the spice mixture all over your cauliflower;
  • Place the skillet in the oven and roast the cauliflower for approximately 15 minutes;
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle with feta, parsley, lemon juice and more extra virgin olive oil;
  • Serve with some extra feta and lemon wedges on a side. Enjoy.
