Ingredients

Roasted Cauliflower:

1 whole cauliflower
1 tbsp liquid coconut oil
1 tbsp semi soft coconut oil
½ tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp rubbed thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp pink salt

Root Veggies:

3 small sweet potatoes halved
2 med potatoes cut into chunks
5 heirloom carrots
½ of a leek cut into 1" chunks
½ tbsp wholegrain mustard
½ tsp honey dijon mustard
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
salt & black pepper to taste
½ tsp thyme
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp water
2 tsp nutritional yeast

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Remove the green leafy stem of the cauliflower and cut the core down so that the cauliflower can sit flat on your counter. Wash the cauliflower and set aside

Step 2

In a bowl, mix all the mustard and other ingredients for the cauliflower except the coconut oils.

Step 3

Add the semi-soft coconut oil to that bowl, and using your hands, mix all the ingredients together but do not let the heat of your hands melt the oil.

Step 4

Spread this mixture all over the entire cauliflower including the bottom florets. Massage well making sure to get into the little crevices so it forms a raw crust or thick coating.

Step 5

Turn the cauliflower stem side up in a large dutch oven or on a baking tray lined with foil.

Step 6

In the bowl that had the mustard mixture, pour in the liquid coconut oil and swirl it around to pick up the residual ingredients. Pour this liquid into the crevices of the upside-down cauliflower. Do not skip this step

Step 7

In a large bowl combine all the ingredients for the root veggies and using your hands, massage the veggies with the spices and mustards so they are well coated.

Step 8

Arrange the veggies around the cauliflower and cover.

Step 9

Place on the center rack of the oven and bake at 435F for 40 minutes.

Step 10

After 40 minutes, remove the cover and increase the heat to 450F and bake for another 12 minutes. It is finished when you can easily stick a knife through the cauliflower without much resistance.
