Description

This Whole Roasted Cauliflower recipe is a flavorful and impressive dish that’s surprisingly easy to make. The cauliflower is coated in a savory blend of spices and roasted until tender and golden brown, making it a perfect vegetarian main course or a stunning side dish for any meal.


Ingredients

Whole Roasted Cauliflower:

  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the cauliflower: Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem so it sits flat. Place it in a baking dish.
  3. Season the cauliflower: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture all over the cauliflower, making sure to coat it evenly.
  4. Roast the cauliflower: Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve hot as a main dish or a side.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the spice blend to your liking.
  • Adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving can brighten up the flavors.
