  • 2tablespoonsolive oil, divided
  • ¼teaspoonsalt
  • ¼teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
  • 1headgarlic
  • ½teaspoonolive oil
  • 1(8 ounce) packagefeta cheese
  • ½cupplain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 2blood oranges
  • 2tablespoonspine nuts, toasted
  • chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

    Put cauliflower on a foil-lined 10×15-inch baking pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat.

    Peel away dry outer layers of garlic bulb, leaving inner layers and cloves intact. Trim bulb top to expose cloves; set, cut side up, in a custard cup or ramekin. Drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Cover with foil.

    Roast cauliflower and garlic, turning cauliflower once, until cauliflower is deeply browned and tender, and garlic cloves are soft, about 25 minutes. Let garlic cool slightly, then squeeze cloves into a small bowl and mash with a fork.

    Process 1 teaspoon of the mashed roasted garlic in a food processor with feta, yogurt, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil until smooth. (Reserve remaining garlic for another use.)

    Remove 1 teaspoon zest from one blood orange, then cut both oranges into suprêmes. (Trim away peel and all white pith from fruit, then cut inner membranes away from individual segments).

    Spread whipped feta onto a large platter. Top with roasted cauliflower, orange suprêmes, pine nuts, zest, and parsley.



    Cook's Notes:

    To make the whipped feta extra creamy, spring for high-quality feta and use whole-milk Greek-style yogurt.

    Store roasted garlic in a closed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
