Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Mince the garlic. In a small bowl, make the aioli by combining the mayo, garlic and ⅔ of the spices. Remove the bottom ½ inch of the cauliflower stem; cut the head into 1 ½ inch slices, keeping the 2 middle pieces as intact as possible. Cut the outer pieces into florets.
Roast the cauliflower
Arrange the cauliflower on a lined sheet pan. Drizzle with oil and season with S&P. Brush with the aioli and roast, 20 to 25 min., until browned and tender.
Make the mash
Meanwhile, peel and medium-dice the sweet potatoes. Add to the pot of boiling water and boil, 14 to 16 min., until very tender. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and return to the pot. Off the heat, add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Mash, gradually adding the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency; season with S&P. Keep warm.
Make the jalapeño-nut topping
Meanwhile, small-dice the roasted pepper. Roughly chop the cashews. Halve and core the jalapeño lengthwise; finely chop. Halve the lime; juice ½ and quarter the remaining ½. In a second small bowl, combine the roasted pepper, cashews, jalapeño, lime juice, honey, a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the mash between your plates. Top with the cauliflower and jalapeño-nut topping. Garnish with the lime wedges. Bon appétit!
