Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower or romanesco, sliced lengthwise in 4 slices
  • 1 bell pepper, remove seeds, and cut into thick strips
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 1 small onion cut into slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • pinch paprika
  • 1 tsp cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the cauliflower or romanesco in an oven-proof skillet with the peppers, tomatoes, and onions. Sprinkle with olive oil and seasonings. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, turning the veggies once or twice. They are done when browned and crisp-tender.

  3. Place the roasted veggies in the center of the plates on top of the hummus.
  4. Sprinkle each plate with one tablespoon of light dressing.
