Whole Cauliflower Roasted with Mustard, Honey, Feta, and Garlic
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 4 cloves garlic cut into slivers
- 1/2 cup Vrisi 36 BOLD extra virgin Greek olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Vrisi 36 sun-dried tomato mustard
- 2 teaspoons Greek honey
- 1 tablespoon Vrisi 36 Greek balsamic
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Lemon wedges for serving
Directions
- 1
Preheat to 450F / 220C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut off enough of the stem so that it is level with the bottom of the head, enabling the cauliflower to stand upright on the baking sheet.
- 3
Take a few slivers of garlic at a time and gently push them in between the florets, essentially stuffing the cauliflower all around with garlic.
- 4
Whisk together the olive oil, 2 tablespoons mustard, the honey and vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5
Put the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet and brush the entire outside and inside with the olive oil mixture. Roast the cauliflower until beautifully browned and tender, about 50 minutes to one hour. You can insert a long skewer inside the caulflower to see if it’s done. It should pass through smoothly.

Meanwhile, combine the parsley and feta in a small bowl. Brush the remaining mustard all over the surface of the roasted cauliflower and rubwith the parsley-feta mixture. Roast another 5 minutes, or until the feta melts. Remove and serve, with lemon wedges.

About this Recipe
Looking for a truly impressive yet simple centerpiece for your next meal? This whole roasted cauliflower, beautifully seasoned with tangy mustard, sweet honey, savory feta, and aromatic garlic, is guaranteed to be a real showstopper.
What makes this dish so special is the harmonious blend of robust Greek ingredients. The Vrisi 36 BOLD extra virgin Greek olive oil ensures a rich, succulent texture, while the unique Vrisi 36 sun-dried tomato mustard provides a savory depth that perfectly balances the sweetness of the Greek honey and the sharpness of the feta cheese.
Prepare for a delightful contrast of textures and flavors with every bite. You'll find the roasted cauliflower tender on the inside with beautifully caramelized edges, infused with aromatic garlic slivers. Each forkful delivers a burst of Mediterranean essence, from the tangy mustard and Vrisi 36 Greek balsamic to the creamy, salty feta and fresh parsley finish. This dish offers a comforting yet sophisticated experience that feels both hearty and surprisingly light.
This dish is naturally vegetarian and a wonderful option for those seeking flavorful plant-based meals. While the recipe highlights specific Vrisi 36 ingredients for their authentic Greek profiles, you can still achieve a delicious result with your preferred high-quality extra virgin olive oil, a good tangy mustard, and a rich balsamic vinegar from your pantry. For a dairy-free option, a plant-based feta alternative could be used, though the texture and flavor will vary.
This visually stunning dish is perfect as a centerpiece for a Sunday supper or a festive gathering, serving 6 generously. The fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley and lemon wedges add a bright, zesty finish to cut through the richness, enhancing the overall vibrant flavor.
