ВЅ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Вј cup ghee or coconut oil
Вј cup dates, pitted and finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary

- Preheat the oven to 400В°F.
- Coat the cauliflower pieces with the olive oil, cumin and pepper. Place on a sheet pan in a single layer.
- Place the sheet pan on the top rack of the oven and roast the cauliflower for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, heat the ghee in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the ghee is melted, add the dates and rosemary and cook for 2-3 minutes. Use a spatula to separate the date bits in the ghee as they cook. Remove from the heat and stir in the olives.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer it to a medium-size serving bowl. Add the date-olive mixture and toss gently.
