Roasted Cauliflower

CauliflowerThis recipe is more of a guideline. For example, if you follow a low-sodium diet, it’s perfectly acceptable to omit the salt (and, conversely, if you’re a salt-lover, to add a little more). The key is to roast the cauliflower until it becomes caramelized — don’t be alarmed if some of the florets get slightly blackened, as this just adds to its addictive flavor.

Makes 4 side-dish servings

1 medium to large head cauliflower, washed

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Trim any leaves and cut the cauliflower into quarter-inch slices. Toss with the olive oil and salt, spread in a single layer in a baking dish and roast until it begins to brown a bit and the oil is sizzling.

Turn the pieces once or twice and give the pan a good shake while it’s roasting, about 25 minutes.

Super Banana Sundae

Super Banana Sundea

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

4 large very ripe bananas
1 cup pineapple- chopped
1/2 blueberries
1/2 dates
1/4 cup carob powder
mango slices cherries, etc (optional)

Directions:

Peel and slice bananas and place into a Ziplocish freezer bag ( a splash of e.g. or lemon will prevent browning) and let freeze all day or overnight

When ready to continue, place dates in a bowl of water to soften.

Place bananas into your food processor and blend. They will become the texture and consistency of ice cream. Place into a sealable container and toss in the freezer to keep cool.

Remove dates from water and place in processor with carob and enough water (coconut water works well too) and keep blending and adding liquid until the consistency is syrupy.

Remove banana “ice cream” and scoop into serving dishes top with pineapple and berries etc and drizzle with carob date syrup and enjoy!

Serves: 2-4

Preparation time: 30 (excluding freezing)

Carrots and Nothing Else Cake

Carrots Cake

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup apple sauce (you can use oil also if you don’t want the “lower fat” version)
3 “eggs”– flax seed and Ener-g eggs both work well
3 cups shredded carrot
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon or pie spice

Directions:

This is a modified version of a carrot cake recipe I have. All of the vegan recipes I was finding had other ingredients (pineapple, coconut, etc) in them. I wanted straight up carrot cake. This makes a nice, moist cake. My officemate and carrot cake lover requests this.

Mix all of the wet ingredients and the sugar in a bowl until well mixed. Add the carrots and mix.

In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Once both bowls are ready, mix together to form batter.

Pour into a 9 by 13 cake pan. Put into preheated 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes. It is done when a toothpick comes out clean. If you use other sized pans (rounds, for example) be sure to adjust your baking time.

Let cool and enjoy! I just put powered sugar on mine but you can be more creative.

Feel free to also add other goodies, like coconut, walnuts, or whatever sounds good to you.

Serves: 12

Preparation time: 20 minutes
