Description

Mary Berry Roasted Cauliflower is a simple yet flavorful dish that involves roasting cauliflower florets in the oven with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a touch of spice or herbs. The roasting process caramelizes the cauliflower, enhancing its natural flavors and creating a slightly crisp texture. It can be served as a standalone dish or paired with your favorite mains for a nutritious, low-carb option.


Ingredients

  • Cauliflower (1 large head): The star of the dish, broken into bite-sized florets.
  • Olive oil (2 tbsp): Helps in roasting and adds a rich flavor to the cauliflower.
  • Salt (1 tsp): Enhances the natural flavors.
  • Black pepper (½ tsp): Adds a mild heat and complements the roasted flavor.
  • Paprika (½ tsp, optional): Provides a hint of smokiness and color.
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced): Infuse the cauliflower with aromatic garlic flavor.
  • Fresh parsley (2 tbsp, chopped, for garnish): Adds a fresh touch to the roasted cauliflower.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Prepare the cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Season the cauliflower: Drizzle the olive oil over the florets, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika (if using), and minced garlic. Toss well to ensure even coating.
  4. Spread on the baking sheet: Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to allow even roasting.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes: Roast the cauliflower, turning halfway through, until it is golden brown and tender.
  6. Garnish and serve: Once roasted, sprinkle the cauliflower with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
