How to Whole Roast Cauliflower
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 larger head of organic cauliflower
- 2 tbsp Dijon (I prefer Maille)
- 3 tbl of veg broth
- 2 tbl water for mixture
- 1 tbl oil (I used avocado but olive would work well too + more for the pan)
- 1 tsp of smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp tumeric powder
- Salt (per your taste I used two pinches)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Wash and trim the leaves off of your cauliflower head. Be careful not to cut any florets off. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the bottom of your pan or small baking dish (whatever you’re using). Into a bowl, add the Dijon, 2 tbl water, oil and seasonings to a bowl. Whisk to combine. Then brush the mixture all over your cauliflower head. Place your prepared cauliflower into you pan or baking dish. Pour the 3 til of broth into the bottom of the pan not over the cauliflower so it can steam and cook quicker (Thanks to Minimalist baker for the tip). Bake for 35-60 minutes or until fork tender. The cooking time is dependent upon the size of the cauliflower.
Notes
I added new potatoes around the cauliflower but large chunks of carrots would be fun too! Just wash/slice into larger pieces and toss with a bit of oil. Season with salt and pepper and add around the cauliflower (once prepared).
