I have a Turkish ground chili spice called urfa biber that I have to use up so it’s usually delicious on cauliflower…..BUT by accident this is much more delicious than I imagined it would be………….I added a little Aleppo pepper to it that is a mild delicious heat…..so the crust not exactly but almost taste like raisins with a pinch of cayenne on the cauliflower. I made the dressing extra delicious by using my roasted whipped garlic that is never strong and is naturally very sweet. I hate to brag but this came out really great! I think I will have to do something similar on chicken. Serving size is hard to tell because all cauliflowers are different sizes and all people like different size portions. I thought my cauliflower looked medium-ish-smallish in size. I cut mine into 8 wedges that were very small wedges so I made two wedges a serving…..You might get more servings if your cauliflower is bigger than mine was.

Ingredients for around 4 servings

1 medium cauliflower – quarter and cut eat quarter so you have 8 wedges

4 Tablespoons ground urfa biber pepper

2 Tablespoons ground Aleppo pepper

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

non stick spray

2 1/2 oz roasted whipped sweet garlic …It’s worth making! (cut a few garlic heads in half pour a generous amount of olive oil on them cover with foil and roast at 375 for an hour. Blend. – sumac dressing

1 large ripe lemon – just the fresh squeezed juice – sumac dressing

2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil – sumac dressing

2 teaspoons sumac – sumac dressing

1/4 teaspoon sea salt – sumac dressing

1/4 cup parley leaves – torn or lightly chopped – to finish

1/2 cup pistachios – lightly crushed – to finish

1/2 small red onion – thinly sliced on mandolin – to finish

Directions

Set oven to 400 degrees F and spray a baking sheet with non stick spray.

put the oil in a small bowl that is big enough for the cauliflower wedges to roll around in.

In a small bowl mix together the urfa biber pepper, Aleppo pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Use the bowl or spread it out on a mat or smooth surface and roll the oil soaked cauliflower in it.

Repeat till you are done.

This goes on the middle rack until slightly browned. In my oven they took 40 minutes but timing can differ.

While the cauliflower are roasting make the sumac dressing.

In a small bowl mix together the roasted whipped sweet garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, sumac, 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Serve

Dress the cauliflower with the sumac dressing. Finish with parsley, red onion slices, and pistachios.

Enjoy!
