Cooking tip: Using an air fryer for this recipe can bring some extra crisp to the cauliflower, but you can also roast the cauliflower in the oven, which might be a better choice if making a large quantity. Heat the oven to 400°F and spread the cauliflower into a single layer on a sheet pan. Roast for at least 45 minutes, flipping once about halfway through, until golden and tender.
Ingredients:
- 1 large head fresh cauliflower USDA
- 4 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped USDA
- 4 ounces feta cheese USDA
- 1/2 tablespoon Real Lemon lemon juice, 100% FNDDS
- 3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil USDA
- 5 eas fresh dill weed, sprigs USDA
- 1/2 tablespoon heavy whipping cream USDA
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt USDA
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Za'atar spice blend, Spice Islands
- 2 ounces cream cheese USDA
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh garlic FNDDS
Directions:
- Warm air fryer to 390°F.
- Wash cauliflower and cut into 1-inch thick florets. Place in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon za’atar spice blend, and salt. Place in a single layer in the air fryer, working in batches if needed, and cook for 8 minutes, flip and cook another 4-5 minutes, until cauliflower is crispy and browned. Remove to a platter and garnish with 1 tablespoon Italian parsley.
- While the cauliflower is cooking, in a food processor whip together softened cream cheese and heavy cream until well combined and fluffy. Add feta, dill, lemon juice, remaining ½ tablespoon za’atar, ½ tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon chopped parsley and garlic until well combined, scraping down sides often. Scrape into a bowl and swirl remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top and serve with the cauliflower.
