    How to Prepare Sicilian Cauliflower Bowls with Kidney Beans and Orzo [Vegan]

    For the Bowl:

    1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC or gas mark 7).
    2. Spread the cauliflower between two rimmed baking sheets, drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and the red pepper flakes, and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer. Roast until lightly browned, tossing once halfway through, about 30 minutes total. Once out of the oven, add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the dressing, parsley, capers, and raisins to the hot baking sheet and toss with the cauliflower.
    3. Meanwhile, cook the orzo according to the package instructions and drain well.
    4. To serve, divide the kidney beans among four bowls. Top with the orzo, cauliflower mixture, and steamed spinach. Drizzle with the remaining Lemon-Caper Dressing and garnish with the pine nuts and additional parsley.

    For the Dressing:

    1. Place all the ingredients in a lidded jar and shake until emulsified.
