Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, packed
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
  • Optional: a squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  3. Spread the cauliflower evenly on the baking sheet, giving them space to avoid steaming.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges with a tender inside. Drizzle a little olive oil before flipping if cauliflower looks dry.
  5. While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the chimichurri sauce by combining parsley, cilantro (if using), garlic, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse a few times, then slowly add olive oil while blending until smooth but slightly textured. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions (quinoa takes about 15 minutes). Fluff when done.
  7. Assemble the bowl by starting with a base of quinoa or rice, then add baby spinach or mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, roasted spicy cauliflower, and avocado slices.
  8. Drizzle generously with chimichurri sauce.
  9. Optionally, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top to brighten flavors.
  10. Serve immediately for best texture, or store components separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the cauliflower on the baking sheet to ensure crispiness. Flip halfway through roasting for even caramelization. Chimichurri sauce tastes better after resting for a few hours. Store components separately for best freshness. Add avocado fresh before serving to avoid browning. Reheat cauliflower in a hot skillet or oven to regain crispiness.
