Lemon and Sage Roasted Cauliflower for Vegan Thanksgiving
Who doesn't enjoy a delicious cauliflower roast? You can prepare cauliflower in various ways, such as a roast steak, casserole, or any other form, as long as it's vegan. However, this particular roast dish pair well with sage and lemon, so it will be a straightforward cauliflower roast. I understand that time is limited before this large family gathering, so simple yet tasty meals are preferable.
I have always found joy in learning about different cultures and traditions. Given that my husband has American roots and we have relatives in the United States, I am especially interested in exploring their customs. Thanksgiving is undoubtedly one of their most famous traditions, and I think many Americans continue to celebrate it. It's a fantastic occasion to come together with family and enjoy a meal.
Throughout my Thanksgiving series, I've developed vegan interpretations of several classic dishes. These can be served to your family as vegan options, or you can try them to explore different traditions if you're not from the U.S. Ultimately, new flavors enhance our culinary experiences. I think a cauliflower roast would be a perfect addition to this and any occasion!
This recipe is simple and easy to make, making it a perfect addition to the feast.
Ingredients
1 large head of cauliflower
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
2 teaspoons of dried sage
Juice and zest of 1 lemon (2 tablespoon of lemon juice)
1 cup plant-based cream ( I used oatly)
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Wash the cauliflower and microwave it for approximately 8 to 10 minutes until it becomes nearly tender. Meanwhile, mix the dressing ingredients together. Once the cauliflower is ready, pour the dressing over it, ensuring every part is coated. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top.
Cover the cauliflower with silver foil and roast it for approximately 30 minutes. Every 10 minutes, remove the foil to spoon the sauce over the cauliflower. After 30 minutes, take off the silver foil, and if any liquid remains, spoon it over the cauliflower. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, ensuring the cauliflower is tender and juicy. If necessary, leave it in the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes.
