Roasted Whole Cauliflower with Feta
This is our adaptation of a recipe from Diane Kochilas’ book “My Greek Table.” A mixture of olive oil, mustard, balsamic vinegar, honey and garlic is slathered onto a head of cauliflower before roasting. The cauliflower then gets a finishing swipe of mustard and a coating of feta and parsley before roasting for a few minutes more to soften the feta. The cauliflower is simply cut into wedges for serving.

Tip
Don't forget to line the baking sheet with foil or kitchen parchment. This will help prevent any drips of the oil-mustard mixture from scorching and smoking during roasting. Also, don't worry if the cauliflower browns very deeply—chars, even—in the oven. This caramelization adds sweet, nutty flavor to the dish.

It has become a go to recipe!
After finding this recipe I have already made it at least 5 times. Easy and very delicious. Probably our favorite cauliflower recipe. I am a fan of My Greek Kitchen. Thanks for sharing.

AMAZING!
I made the recipe as written, and roasted the cauliflower for the maximum time. It came out very soft, but this is exactly what I was hoping for. I would say the head I used was on the small side. For those that had cauliflower coming out less cooked, try a longer roast time.

A keeper!
It was a delicious way to serve cauliflower! My son-in-law doesn't usually like cauliflower, but said he would be happy to have this again. Thanks for a great recipe that was easy and delicious.

Delicious!
This recipe was delicious. No more boring cauliflower. I had quite a bit of the dressing left so next time I am going to try making it with half the dressing.

So savory, and easy
I've made this a few times, and every one, it's deemed the BEST cauliflower we've had. Admittedly, I have a few more I'd like to try, but I make this following the recipe, very easy, and delicious. Roasting brings out a sweetness that is surprising, and the mustard/feta glaze just amplifies it all into sweet/savory/salty/tangy glory.
