Mediterranean Roasted Cauliflower

by Judy

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Today’s Mediterranean Roasted Cauliflower recipe was inspired by a cauliflower “couscous” a friend made recently that I loved.  This isn’t really couscous as we know it, but it’s a great side dish to serve with meat, chicken or fish.  Also perfect when chilled as a salad for lunch!  So tasty!

Mediterranean Roasted Cauliflower "Couscous"

Holidays are over, it’s a new year and I’m betting there’s a lot of people out there looking for some lighter, healthier things to eat right now. Mediterranean roasted cauliflower is low carb and can easily be vegetarian/vegan depending on what you add to it. I’m not sure how “gluten free” it is since I don’t pay attention to that, but I’m guessing it’s probably gluten free too?

All my favorite Greek/Mediterranean inspired flavors are in this dish.  You can add or subtract whatever inspires you!  I’ve added a few of my favorites…

Olives – I chose Kalamata because I love them!

Sun Dried Tomatoes – for more intense tomato taste

Toasted Pine Nuts – Great for the extra crunch factor

Feta Cheese – omit this if you want to keep it Vegan

Adding some artichoke hearts would be a nice touch to this Mediterranean roasted cauliflower. Some beans like garbanzo (chick peas) or white beans would be awesome.  Grilled chicken? Yup, that would be delicious too. Or, perhaps even some small shaped pasta (but it won’t be low carb then). The sky’s the limit… go crazy if you want!
