From the Test Kitchen

This hearty dish highlights fiery chipotle chile paste, which we’re using to coat our cauliflower before roasting and stirring it into a vibrant mix of red quinoa, sautéed black beans and tomatoes, and sweet, juicy orange. It’s all brought together with rich flavor from a fried egg served on top.

1 Prepare & roast the cauliflower:

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. In a large bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of olive oil and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Cut out and discard the core of the cauliflower; cut into small florets. Add to the bowl of chile paste; season with salt and pepper and stir to thoroughly coat. Reserving the bowl, transfer the coated cauliflower to the sheet pan and arrange in an even layer. Roast 22 to 24 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
