This is a "re-blog" of Mark Manguerra's brilliant recipe, from his blog No Special Effects. I've cooked this three times, including on Thanksgiving, and it was amazing!!!
What you need:
500g head (18-oz) of cauliflower, washed, green leaves removed and cut into florets (half-florets if you want extra crunch)
sea salt
olive oil (add a knob of butter that has been melted for serious flavor, but I wanted to keep it wholesome)
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (or 2 dried chilis)
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Make sure the cauliflower is completely dry by patting it in between paper towels. In a sheet pan or roasting pan, toss the florets with a good glug of olive oil. In a mortar, bash the spices with a pinch of salt. Sprinkle over the florets evenly and toss well. Make sure they are laid out in a single layer on the pan. Roast in the top rack of the oven for 20 minutes, then give them a good toss to ensure even cooking, and roast for 10 minutes more or until the edges are brown and crunchy. Serve immediately.
Thanks for the compliment Regular Guy! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
