This Greek-Style Baked Feta & Cauliflower is packed with tomatoes, briny olives, and salty feta. It's an easy, one-pan meal. The feta roasts with cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives until the feta becomes soft and creamy and then, gets cauliflower florets and, of course, it gets covered in mozzarella. Cauliflower is rich in nutrients, which is an excellent source of vitamins C and K, as well as folate and fiber. It also contains antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation and may offer protection against certain diseases.

  • Yields: 6 Servings

Ingredients

2 cups ripe cherry tomatoes

½ cup Kalamata olives

3 garlic cloves, pressed

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

sea salt and ground pepper, to taste

6 ounce block feta cheese

1 large head cauliflower, broken into bite-sized florets

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup mozzarella, grated

2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Directions

1Preheat your oven to 400° F.

2In a 9×13" baking dish add the cherry tomatoes, olives, pressed garlic, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, sea salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything well to coat.

3Place the feta block in the center of your baking dish. Drizzle feta with the remaining olive oil.

4Bake for 15 minutes, or until feta begins to brown and tomatoes are bursting.

5Meanwhile, steam your cauliflower florets for just 5-6 minutes or until tender-crisp. Do not overcook the cauliflower, we don't want them mushy.

6Once your feta is done baking, carefully remove from the oven and immediately start to mash and combine the feta and tomatoes with a fork, to create a creamy sauce.

7Stir in your steamed cauliflower florets together with the second batch of minced garlic and a tiny pinch of sea salt and pepper. Top with your freshly grated mozzarella and return to the oven.

8Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.

9Garnish with fresh parsley.
