Baked Cauliflower
A cauliflower covered in spice and baked as it is.
Gather
- 1/2 large cauliflower (or 1 medium)
- 1-2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cajun spice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Prepare
-
Make sure the cauliflower is clean and remove any parts you don't want to eat (we keep the green stalks on as they are tasty)! Place it cut side down on a greased or lined baking tray.
-
Rub (or spray) a bit of oil all over the cauliflower florets. Sprinkle over the pepper, cajun, garlic and salt then massage in with your fingers. Check to see if you have missed any parts and season as necessary.
-
Add the rest of the oil then sprinkle the sesame seeds over (they should stick to the oil).
-
Place on the middle shelf of the oven and bake on a medium heat (gas 5 / 375f / 190c) for 40-60 minutes. The cauliflower should be golden when cooked, with the flesh slightly soft but with some bite.
-
Enjoy!
Tips & Storage
- You can use any spices for this - curry, chilli or mixed herbs.
- Use a whole cauliflower, a half, or if you are short of time, chop the cauliflower into florets and bake for 15-20 minutes.
- You can use any oil, but olive oil gives a great taste.
- You can omit the sesame seeds, but they really make this cauliflower delicious.
- Cover any leftover cauliflower and refrigerate for up to three days.
