This recipe is a fun way to use cauliflower, one of my favorite superfoods. For me, this dish ticks all the longevity boxes I value: antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, full of vitamin C, and healthy fats! It is as perfectly adequate for those following a vegan lifestyle as it is for anyone following a Paleo, Keto, or Whole30 lifestyle.
Ingredients
- 2 ½-inch sliced “steaks” of cauliflower, cut from the center of a medium-size cauliflower
- 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
- Mixed greens
- 1/4 avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 360°F and line metal tray with baking paper.
- Season cauliflower with 2 teaspoons olive oil and spices. Place on tray.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flipping them about halfway through.
- Meanwhile, season mixed greens and avocado with 1 teaspoon olive oil and lemon juice.
- Place cooked cauliflower on top of salad, squeezing a bit more lemon juice on cauliflower to help bring out caramelized veggie flavor.
