whole roasted cauliflower

Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Curry Tahini Sauce | Vegan Main

February 15, 2018 By julia

Whole Roasted Cauliflower is the easiest and one of the most delicious ways to enjoy your cauli!

This flavourful bomb of a recipe can take place of that main roast on the table.

Get those steak knives out, it’s time to carve up the cauli! Said no one, ever… until NOW.

But, you won’t need that steak knife, because this juicy cauliflower cooked to perfection, allows any dull knife to easily make it’s way to the bottom of the dish.

Let’s talk about this sauce. First, it’s massaged into the cauliflower, then it turns into a beautiful and delicious golden crust. Then, the other half of the golden goodness is drizzled liberally over the finished product.

Warning: this sauce may be your new addiction.

I brought this one to a potluck, and it was dubbed the vegan turkey. If you’re bringing it to a dinner, place it in a roasting dish, surround it in kale leaves, and put it in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes when you get there (the kale will turn into kale chips, and your roast will be extra golden).

In just a few steps you’ll have yourself a killer main.

Sauce the cauli.

Bake the cauli.

Slice and drizzle.

But really, all mushrooms are magical. The benefit But really, all mushrooms are magical. The benefits are endless.

Read on to learn about the world’s first ever mushroom strip 🤯🙌

I’ve been a big fan of this company from the very beginning and even helped out during its startup. Functional mushrooms grown just down the road from me in beautiful Pemberton BC, created by a friend of mine.

I love everything Stay Wyld makes, but these pocket strips are the most convenient and fun way to take your mushrooms on the go.

Have you tried them yet?

So what’s actually in these sugar free pocket strips?

🧠 Energy LST Strip
Lion’s Mane, B12, L-Theanine, and green tea.

💪 Immunity LST Strip
2800mg of 7 functional mushrooms + vitamins, all in one little strip:
🍄 Lion’s Mane — brain power
🍄 Chaga — cellular defence (antioxidant powerhouse)
🍄 Cordyceps — energy & resilience & blood flow
🍄 Turkey Tail — gut + immunity
🍄 Maitake — metabolic support
🍄 Reishi — stress & immune balance
🍄 Shiitake — immune-active compounds

We’re still floating from the Plants. Dance. Love. We’re still floating from the Plants. Dance. Love. Retreat ✨ 
It was everything we dreamed it would be and then some.

We danced kitchen, in the sunshine and in the rain.
We ocean dipped.
We got playfully curious about ourselves.
We learned to trust our intuition.
We supported eachother.
We laughed.
We devoured insanely delicious whole plant foods.
We experienced breath work & a sound bath. 

👟🌱Everyone learned the foundations of plant-based eating and shuffle dancing, all in the name of reigniting their internal spark and bringing home simple ways to pump the lymphatic system and add more plants into their own day-to-day lives. 👟🌱

And the women!! 💗

…Thank you for sharing your stories, for allowing yourselves to be supported, for saying yes to you and your own joy. 

The energy we curated for the weekend truly allowed everyone to feel safe and be exactly who they are.

We’re already dreaming up the next one. 🌱

🙏Endless gratitude to the local businesses who filled our goodie bags with so much goodness:
@staywyldorganics functional mushrooms
@glowchocolates and glitter tattoos

🌱Menu highlights:
Hand-rolled sushi we made together, build-your-own berry parfait bar, layered raw dessert creation, vibrant Buddha bowls, ceremonial cacao, and a plant-based sharing board to send us off.

✨Itinerary flow: 
Arrive + land. Cacao + opening circle. Shuffle workshops each day in the garden and beach. Culinary sessions in the kitchen together. Breathwork + sound healing. Human Design + self-love. Guided journaling + ocean dip. Integration + closing circle with cacao.
