Course Main Course, Side Dish
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower, washed, trimmed, and cut into wedges
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 garlic cloves roughly chopped
  • 8 oz shishito peppers
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup parsley  roughly chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 1/2 cup plain vegan Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Garlic Cream Sauce by blending all ingredients and then set aside.
  • Turn the oven broiler on high. Arrange cauliflower in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Brush both sides with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, flipping once, until charred and tender, about 16 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add garlic. Cook until the garlic is golden, about 4–6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat, and add the remaining olive oil, and cook the shishito peppers until blistered and slightly crisp—transfer peppers to a plate covered with a paper towel to drain.
  • Add the roasted cauliflower, garlic, shishito peppers, sliced almonds, parsley, and season with salt and pepper to a medium mixing bowl. Serve over the garlic cream sauce, or use it as a dip.
