Spicy Whole-Roasted Cauliflower
1 hour to prepare, serves 4-8
INGREDIENTS
1 head cauliflower
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
3 teaspoons cumin
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350º F.
Cut leaves from around the cauliflower, and cut out the center core to create a flat surface for cauliflower to balance, making sure to leave the head intact. Rub vegetable oil over cauliflower and season generously with salt. Transfer to a baking sheet or pie dish and roast for 45 minutes, or until fork tender.
Options:
1. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, grainy mustard, chili powder and cumin in a small bowl. Set aside until cauliflower finishes baking.
2. You could simple use Wing Sauce or some other spicy mix that you already have or use.
Remove cauliflower from oven and brush olive oil mustard mixture (other) all over. Let rest 5 minutes, so the mixture can soak into the surface.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro or other herbs, then cut into four pieces and serve hot.
