Tips

1. Roast the cauliflower to perfection: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness in cauliflower, so be sure to roast it until tender and caramelized.
2. Don’t overprocess the garlic yogurt: Mix the garlic and yogurt just until combined, as overprocessing can make the yogurt too thin.
3. Toast the pine nuts for added crunch: Toasting the pine nuts enhances their flavor and texture, adding a satisfying crunch to the bowl.
4. Customize with your favorite toppings: Add some diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, or Kalamata olives to make the bowl your own.
5. Make it a meal prep: Roast the cauliflower and prepare the garlic yogurt ahead of time, then assemble the bowls just before serving.
