Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower , cut into florets
  • 2 garlic cloves , minced
  • 2.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 tsp chipotle powder (more or less for spiciness!) (Note 1)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (1 medium to large lime)
  • 1 tbsp coriander/cilantro leaves , finely chopped (optional, sub parsley or chives)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F.
  2. Place cauliflower in a large bowl. Drizzle over oil, sprinkle with garlic. Use hands to mix and rub oil over all cauliflower.
  3. Sprinkle over chipotle, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  4. Spread out on tray. Bake 25 minutes, tossing once, until the edges are caramlised and cauliflower is just tender.
  5. Remove from oven. Push cauliflower together, drizzle over lime juice.
  6. Sprinkle with coriander and serve hot.

Notes

  • Chipotle powder is dried, smoked jalapeño peppers. Terrific smokey, earthy flavour with a bit of a kick. Not super spicy, but there is a a buzz of warmth. If you're concerned about spiciness, Chili Powder is a terrific alternative. (?? Aussies, do not use what we call Chilli Powder because it's pure chilli (spicy!), US Chili Powder is a spice mix)
  • Chipotle substitute - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika + 1/4 tsp cumin or coriander powder + 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (if you want spice).
  • Based on this recipe from The Girl and Her Kitchen. I tried it several years ago and I've never stopped!
