Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 4 cups cauliflower florets and 2 diced medium sweet potatoes with 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. Spread on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
  2. Step 2: Roast the vegetables for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden brown on the edges.
  3. Step 3: While roasting, whisk together 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 clove minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl to make a citrus dressing.
  4. Step 4: Remove vegetables from oven and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle the citrus dressing over the warm vegetables and toss gently to combine.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and serve warm as a colorful Whole30-friendly bowl.
