I finally had a chance to do some cooking this weekend and use some of the ingredients that I got in my Something GUD delivery last week. I've been thinking all week of how to use the cauliflower and I thought roasting it would be a great way to increase the flavor while maintaining its interesting structure. Jay however, did not agree with me. The spiky cauliflower pieces scared him too much so he was unable to try the dish.

I added the pears for some moisture and flavor and recently saw a recipe for roasted kale on Pinterest so I thought I would try adding some as well. Unless I cut it up really small, I'm not a really a fan of raw kale so I'm always looking for a way to new ways to cook it.
Ingredients:
1 Head of Cauliflower
2 Pears (mine were Bosc)
2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
1 Tablespoon dried Sage
1 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
1 Bunch of Kale

Prep Time: 10-15 Minutes
Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Servings: 3-4
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Prep the ingredients - chop the cauliflower and kale and slice the pears. Make sure you only use the leaves of the kale and not the ribs.
Add the cauliflower and pears to a glass casserole dish. Sprinkle the apple cider vinegar, pepper, sage and red pepper flakes over the kale and cauliflower. 
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Add the kale and roast for 10 more minutes.
I only used about 2 leaves worth of the kale in the casserole dish. I put the rest on a cookie sheet and roasted them on their own (with some red pepper flakes).
Use as a side to a main dish or combine with rice, quinoa, or another grain to make an entree.

    This blog is about my adventures adhering to a plant-based diet in a meat-based world and incorporating vegan practices into more parts of my life. As many of my friends and family aren't vegan, and the best part of cooking is sharing your food with others, I try to make recipes that can be enjoyed by vegans and meat-eaters alike.
