1/2 heads Cauliflower, Cut Into Florets
1 Tablespoon Oil (I Recommend Avocado Or Grapeseed For High-heat Cooking)
1 pinch Sea Salt And Pepper
1 pinch Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, For Garnish (optional)
FOR THE CREMA:
1/2 whole Avocado
2/3 cups Cashews, Soaked In Boiling Water For 1-2 Hours
1/2 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 cups Chopped Fresh Cilantro
1/4 cups Nutritional Yeast
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
2 Tablespoons Almond Milk
1 whole Lemon, Juiced

1
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F and place cast-iron skillet on the middle rack in the oven.
2
Toss cauliflower florets in the oil with salt and pepper. Spread over the skillet in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes on the middle rack.
3
Meanwhile, prep the crema. Toss everything in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Transfer to a Mason jar or other airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
4
Stir the florets around in the skillet and bake for another 10-15 minutes on the top rack in the oven. If the florets aren't browning by now, broil them on high for 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye on them because they can burn quickly! Remove from oven and cool slightly.
5
Drizzle crema over the top of the cauliflower and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
