Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425F. Toss the cauliflower with the spices, salt and oil. Place on a prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven until lightly browned and tender. About 25 minutes. Toss the cauliflower halfway through cooking.

Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast until lightly brown on all sides, shaking the pan as needed. Remove from the heat and when cool enough to handle roughly chop.

Prepare the dressing by combining all the ingredients and whisking until smooth. This works best with an immersion blender or small food processor for the creamiest consistency. Taste test and adjust as needed.

To serve drizzle the cauliflower with the sauce and top with almonds and parsley.
