    Foodieinberlin's Notes: Roasting the cauliflower this way makes it tender and succulent without any of the malodorous side effects of boiling. The raisins add sweetness, the cauliflower "crumbs" give extra crunch...

  1. Rinse the cauliflower and cut into bite size pieces. (Reserving 1 large floret to make "crumbs"). Leave the florets in a colander to dry throughly or dry on a kitchen towel.

  2. Using your fingers, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil and salt ensuring that every floret has a coating of salty olive oil. Upend the cauliflower florets into a large roasting pan, making sure not to crowd the cauliflower. Roast for 30 to 45 minutes at 400 F until the cauliflower is soft and brown in parts.

Where does the cumin come in? :) I made the recipe without the cumin and it's great, but just curious about whether I'd add it to the salt and oil pre-roasting massage, or add it to the garlic and parsley dressing? Thanks!

This is so interesting . . . kind of a "sweet and sour" dressing. I like the texture you add, too. I'm going to try this one, for sure!! Thank you for posting it!! ;o)
