Instructions
1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. 2: In a large bowl, add the cauliflower and set aside. In a separate small bowl, mix together melted butter, olive oil, parsley, lemon zest, balsamic vinegar, salt, and paprika. 3: Add the butter mixture to the cauliflower and toss to coat. 4: Spread the cauliflower on a sheet pan and roast in the oven for 20-23 minutes until slightly tender. 5: While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the ricotta and white bean dip by adding white beans, ricotta, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic to a food processor and blend until smooth. 6: Remove the cauliflower from the oven and use a flat-bottomed cup or pan to smash the florets. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 9 minutes per side. 7: To serve, spread the dip on a plate, top with smashed cauliflower, and garnish with parsley, slivered almonds, honey, and red pepper flakes.View original recipe
