If you want flavor you can feel with every fiber of your being, this is your PCOS cauliflower.
Treat Day: Roasted Cauliflower with Pancetta, Olives, & Parmesan
Description
It's a cauliflower side, yes. But it's also olives, garlic, lemon, red pepper, bacon, and Parmesan! That's right: FLAVOR. The olive oil, bacon, and cheese bring it to treat day status, but you could cut back on the high fat ingredients if you wanted to make it an everyday meal. We enjoyed this recipe the day-of and as leftovers, extending our treat day. :)
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 425 degrees F / 218 C. Place cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with salt and half the olive oil until well coated. Roast for 15 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together olives, garlic, lemon juice, red-pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt. Drizzle in the remaining olive oil, stirring well.
-
After the cauliflower has roasted for 15 minutes, add pancetta and cumin seeds to pan and gently mix to combine. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, until cauliflower is tender, the pancetta rendered, and cheese is golden brown and crunchy.
-
Spoon olive dressing all over roasted cauliflower while still hot and toss to combine. Taste, and add more salt, red-pepper flakes or lemon juice, if needed. Scatter parsley over the top before serving.
