Spice-Roasted Cauliflower and Jerusalem Artichokes
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
- 1 pound Jerusalem artichokes, cut into 1-inch dice
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Finely chopped fresh chives, for sprinkling
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower and Jerusalem artichokes; toss them generously with olive oil and salt.
- In a small bowl, combine the cumin and cayenne and add to the vegetables.
- Toss well to thoroughly combine.
- Spread the veggies on a baking sheet in one even layer-use two baking sheets, if necessary.
- Roast 20 minutes, then stir the veggies so they have the chance to brown all over and rotate the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Roast another 20 minutes, then stir and rotate again.
- Roast the vegetables for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are brown, tender and smell wonderful-almost like popcorn!
- If they aren't lovely and brown, let them continue to roast for another few minutes.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
- Remove the veggies from the oven, sprinkle with chives and transfer to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately.
