Roasted cauliflower and hazelnut salad

About an hour to prepare – serves 2 to 4

1 head cauliflower, broken into small florets (about 1 ½ lbs)
5 tbsp olive oil
1 large celery stalk, cut on an angle into ¼-inch slices (I used half a medium fennel bulb sliced thinly)
5 tbsp hazelnuts, with skins
1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/3 cup pomegranate seeds (from ½ a medium pomegranate)
generous ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
1 ½ tsp maple syrup
salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF.

2. Mix the cauliflower with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and some black pepper. Spread out in a roasting pan and roast on the top oven rack for 25-35 minutes, until the cauliflower is crisp and parts of it have turned golden brown. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool down.

3. Decrease the oven temperature to 325ºF. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 17 minutes.

4. Allow the nuts to cool a little, then coarsely cop them and add to the cauliflower, along with the rest of the ingredients. Stir, taste, and season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.
