Ingredients

1 head cauliflower, broken into small florets, 1-1/2 pounds
5 tbsp olive oil
1 large celery stalk, cut on an angle into 1/4-inch slices
5 tbsp hazelnuts with skins
1/3 cup small flat-leaf parsley leaves, picked
1/3 cup pomegranate seed (from about 1/2 medium pomegranate)
generous 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
generous 1/4 tsp ground allspice
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
1 1/2 tsp maple syrup
salt and freshly ground black pepper
 

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Mix the cauliflower with 5 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some black pepper. Spread out in a roasting pan and roast on the top oven rack for 25 to 35 minutes, until the cauliflower is crisp and parts of it have turned golden brown.  Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool down.

Decrease the oven temperature to 325°F. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 17 minutes.

Allow the nuts to cool a little, then coarsely chop them and add to the cauliflower, along with the remaining oil and the rest of the ingredients. Stir, taste, and season with salt and pepper accordingly. Serve at room temperature.
