By á-2052

Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 4 T unsalted butter
• 1/3 c pinenuts
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 c dates, coarsely chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425

Evenly spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper

Transfer to the oven and roast, tossing once with a spatula, until golden brown at the edges, about 20 minutes.

Put the butter in a small skillet over med-low heat. Once it's melted, add the pine nuts and cook, stirring frequently until they're lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and dates and continue cooking until they're softened, 2 to 3 minutes more; season with salt.

Transfer the hot cauliflower to a serving bowl, drizzle the pine nut mixture over top and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary and serve warm or at room temp.
