Whole Roasted Cauliflower Recipe
Description
The recipe involves removing the leaves and stem so the cauliflower sits flat for even roasting. The glaze is a blend of sesame oil, neutral oil, miso paste, chili garlic sauce, and ginger, which penetrates the cauliflower’s surface during roasting, imparting umami, spice, and warmth. Roasting at 425°F for 45-55 minutes softens the entire head until tender and nicely browned.
Once out of the oven, the cauliflower is sprinkled with sea salt for seasoning and garnished with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. These toppings add fresh and toasted notes alongside the roasted vegetable. The result is a flavorful, intact vegetable main or side with complex savory layers.
