1lemon juice and zest
1tbspOlive oilextra virgin
1tspturmeric powder
½ tsp cumin powder
½ tsp paprika
Saltto taste
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 180ºC
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Soak the cauliflower florets in hot water with a little salt for 5 minutes. This is a practice that I have inherited from my mother and it helps to clean them thoroughly.
In a large bowl, combine together the lemon juice, zest, olive oil and spice. Whisk.
Drain and add the cauliflower florets to the bowl. Toss such that all the florets are coated with the dressing.
Spread them on the baking tray and bake for 20 mins.
Give the florets a turn and bake for another 10 mins or until done.
I love these roasted cauliflower florets just as is but you can serve them with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Notes
I use simple everyday spices for the roast. For a twist, try with spice rubs like Italian mix or bbq spice mix.
