Description

A simple whole roasted cauliflower recipe with smoky paprika and Dijon. Perfect as a flavorful side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 larger head of organic cauliflower
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 tbsp (44 ml) veg broth
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) water
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp tumeric powder
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and trim the leaves off of your cauliflower head, being careful not to cut off any florets.
  3. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the bottom of your pan or small baking dish.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of water, olive oil, and seasonings.
  5. Brush the mixture all over the cauliflower head.
  6. Place the prepared cauliflower in your pan or baking dish.
  7. Pour 3 tablespoons of broth into the bottom of the pan, not over the cauliflower.
  8. Bake for 35-60 minutes, or until fork tender (cooking time depends on the size of the cauliflower).

Notes

  • For even roasting, cut a larger cauliflower into florets before roasting; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • To enhance the smoky flavor, add a pinch of chipotle powder to the spice blend.
  • Leftover roasted cauliflower can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and added to salads or grain bowls.
