 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 6 cups)
 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tsp.
 ½ tsp kosher salt
 ½ tsp cumin seeds
 ½ tsp coriander seeds, coarsely crushed (optional)
 ¼ cup raisins, chopped
 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
 ¼ cup firmly packed fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
 Flaky sea salt (optional)
1

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper for easier clean-up, though it is not essential. If you have a convection setting on your oven, Leahy "highly" encourages you to use it when roasting the cauliflower because it will caramelize faster and more evenly. Set the oven at 425°F convection and monitor the final minutes for browning, since the cauliflower will brown faster this way.

2

If any of the cauliflower florets are quite large, halve them so the pieces are similar in size. Place them in a large bowl; add the 3 tbsp. oil, the kosher salt, cumin, and coriander (if using); and thoroughly mix together using your hands.

3

Spread the cauliflower out in an even layer on the prepared pan. Roast until the cauliflower starts to soften and has browned around the edges, about 15 minutes.

4

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the onion, raisins, vinegar, and remaining 1 teaspoon oil.

5

After the cauliflower has roasted for 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and add the onion-raisin mixture, stirring it into the cauliflower. Roast until the raisins are a little crispy and the onion and cauliflower are tender and slightly charred in places, 6 to 10 minutes more.

6

Sprinkle the cilantro over the top and season with flaky sea salt, if desired. Serve immediately.
