Roasted Miso Cauliflower
Description
This recipe highlights cauliflower cut into large chunks to maintain firmness during roasting at 400°F. The marinade blends miso paste with olive oil, water, fresh grated ginger, salt, and black pepper, coating the florets evenly. Roasting the cauliflower in a single layer allows caramelization and prevents sogginess.
The resulting cauliflower is soft with a slightly browned exterior carrying the savory, salty, and subtly spicy flavors from the miso and ginger. Optional garnishes of parsley and mixed sesame seeds add freshness and textural contrast. This dish suits a warm side vegetable or a main for plant-based meals.
Tips include using uniformly large florets to avoid overcooking smaller pieces, ensuring they roast evenly without steaming. Ovens vary, so checking tenderness with a fork and broiling briefly can enhance browning if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower whole
- 3 tablespoons miso paste
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon ginger freshly grated
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
To serve (optional)
- parsley chopped
- sesame seeds black and white
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F / 200°C.
- Cut the cauliflower into large chunks.
- Whisk the miso paste, oil, water, ginger, salt and pepper in a large bowl to combine, then toss the cauliflower pieces in the dressing to coat.
- Place the cauliflower pieces in a single layer on a baking tray and roast for 15 minutes, then flip each piece over. Roast for a further 10-15 minutes until soft, slightly dark and caramelised.
- Serve warm topped with parsley and sesame seeds (if using).
Notes
- Cut cauliflower into large florets to avoid overcooking or burning small pieces during roasting.
- Arrange cauliflower in a single, even layer on the baking sheet to prevent steaming and sogginess.
- Check doneness by testing with a fork; it should slide through easily when fully cooked.
- If more browning is desired, broil the cauliflower for 1 to 2 minutes after roasting.
