Ingredients

• 1 large head Cauliflower
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Matzo meal
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into small florets and spread them out on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cauliflower and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and tender.

Step 4

While the cauliflower roasts, finely dice the yellow onion.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is caramelized and golden.

Step 6

Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a food processor and pulse a few times until roughly chopped (do not over-process; you want a rice-like texture).

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until beaten. Add the matzo meal, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Fold the roasted cauliflower and caramelized onions into the egg mixture. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.

Step 9

Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish. Transfer the mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the kugel is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
