Cooking an entire head of cauliflower may seem intimidating, but it is actually pretty simple and way less messy than chopping it into a bunch of little pieces. You can keep it super simple by roasting it using nothing more by olive oil and salt, but for this recipe we'll be serving the cauliflower with a delicious whipped feta sauce. I love charring it using a grill, but if you only have an oven to work with like me, then you can follow along below! If you aren't a fan of cauliflower, then just make the dip and serve with pita. Trust me.
