Roasting isn't usually the first cooking method you think of for cauliflower, but the results are quite delicious . It can be cut into thick slices and tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and herbs and finished in the oven or roasted whole. It may just be a regular, humble, garden cauliflower, but there's something really exciting about seeing it come out of the oven whole.
I often flavour mine with lemon, chilli and cumin and a deep browning occurs in the oven that results in a sweet, nutty flavour. It makes a beautiful edible centrepiece to hack away at, cutting chunks off the main stem, throughout your meal. Roasted cauliflower is not only delicious but also packed with health benefits.
It’s rich in vitamins C and K, fibre, and antioxidants. It's a versatile side dish that pairs well with proteins like grilled chicken or fish but can also shine as the main ingredient. For a finishing touch, drizzle it with tahini, sprinkle with fresh herbs, or garnish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Roasted cauliflower is a testament to how simple cooking techniques can elevate a humble vegetable to true culinary greatness.
