1 tsp dried thyme

2 small sweet potatoes chunked
2 medium potatoes cut into chunks
5 heirloom carrots chunked
½ of a leek cut into 1" chunks

1 tsp granulated garlic
2 tbsp water
2 tsp nutritional yeast

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a bowl mix the mustard and other ingredients for the cauliflower except the coconut oils. Then 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 3

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 4

Turn the cauliflower stem side up in a large dutch oven or on a baking tray lined with foil. In the bowl that had the mustard mixture, pour in the liquid coconut oil. 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 5

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

Step 6

Arrange the veggies around the cauliflower and cover. Place on the center rack of the oven and bake covered at 435F for 40 minutes.

Step 7

After 40 minutes, remove the cover and increase the heat to 450 deg F and bake for another 12 minutes.

Step 8

Cauliflower is finished when you can easily stick a knife through the cauliflower without resistance. If there is resistance, place cauliflower back into the oven for an additional 15 minutes.
