How to make spicy roast cauliflower

Slice the cauliflower florets to a thickness of around 1cm (about ⅓ inch). As the florets are rounded you will have some larger slices where you have cut through the centre and some smaller pieces from the sides. The larger slices can look more attractive but all parts can be used to avoid wastage. Place on an oven tray and drizzle a little olive oil on each slice.

Roast in a hot oven for around 5 minutes until one side is starting to turn golden. Turn over carefully using a knife and fork taking care not to break the slices as they will be soft at this stage. Add a little more olive oil and seasoning then return to the oven and continue to cook until the second side also looks golden. Your spiced roast cauliflower is now ready to eat!

Tips for making roasted spiced cauliflower

  1. Only use fresh cauliflower. Cauliflower which has been frozen will be far too soft and will not have a good texture.
  2. If you don't have Cajun seasoning you can substitute any other seasoning of your choice. Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper make a tasty alternative.
  3. All parts of the cauliflower florets can be used, both the larger slices and the smaller pieces which are left after slicing the florets.
  4. Roast cauliflower is delicious served hot as an accompaniment to many main dishes but can also be served cold. It makes a tasty addition to many salads.
  5. This cauliflower dish is not suitable for freezing.
