Roasted Cauliflower with Pistachios

Ingredients:
1 head white cauliflower
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence*
salt/pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 cup pistachio nuts


Cut up cauliflower with sharp knife, keeping the heads.  Discard the tough stalk. 

Spread cauliflower on well-oiled large baking sheet.


Add pistachio nuts to tray and top with about 1-2 more tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.  Toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence (if you think I'm crazy, see Meal Modifications below :) 

Bake in oven at 400 degrees for about 15 min or until slightly brown and soft.  If you've never been a fan before, taste them!



Meal Modifications:
*This dried herb mixture can be found in the spice section of supermarkets and specialty foods stores. If unavailable, use a mix of dried thyme, basil, savory, and fennel seeds. (epicurious.com)

*Any of your favorite herbs can really be used as long as you give the veggie a kick with something.
