Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into 1 inch slices
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoon capers
  • 1 lemon, half cut into thin slices, half for juice
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup vegetable stock (240g)
  • ½ cup dry white wine (120g)

Instructions

  • Preheat over to 425 degrees F. On a baking tray, add the cauliflower pieces. Drizzle with oil and toss together. In a small bowl, combine all the spices. Sprinkle half over the cauliflower, flip and sprinkle the remaining seasoning on the other side. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the pieces are fork tender.
  • In a skillet, over medium heat, add vegan butter and let melt. Add shallots and let softened for 2-3 minutes.  Add garlic and stir, cook for 30 seconds.  Add capers, lemon slices, and lemon juice.  Stir. 
  • Add cornstarch and stir together until powder remains. Add vegetable stock and wine, stir, scraping any fond off the bottom of the pan.  Let cook for 2-3 minutes or until it thickens. Add baked cauliflower pieces and spoon some of the sauce over top. Serve over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or by itself.
