Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, blackened seasoning, maple syrup, and smoked paprika in a large bowl until well coated.
  • Arrange cauliflower in a single layer on a lined baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly charred.
  • On a separate lined baking sheet, toss sweet corn and broccolini with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
  • Roast corn and broccolini for 15–20 minutes until broccolini is tender and corn is caramelized; let cool slightly.
  • Place chopped kale in a large bowl and massage with a drizzle of olive oil and pinch of salt for 1–2 minutes until softened and darker in color.
  • Add roasted cauliflower, corn, broccolini, chopped jalapeños, cucumber slices, and avocado to the kale.
  • Drizzle generously with Green Goddess dressing and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
  • Serve immediately while vegetables are slightly warm, garnished with extra herbs, cracked pepper, or lemon if desired.

Notes

  • Make it heartier by adding grilled chicken, salmon, or crispy chickpeas.
  • Remove jalapeño seeds to reduce spice level.
  • Top with toasted pumpkin seeds or almonds for crunch.
  • Store dressing separately for meal prep and combine before serving.
