About this Recipe
A whole roasted cauliflower makes a stunning addition to any meal, especially a holiday dinner! This dish can be served as a side dish along with a main or the cauliflower can be the centerpiece. Either way, this dish is sure to impress.
I never really enjoyed cauliflower until I started cooking it this way. Now I love it! Especially, with a little char on the edges.
The best part is, this recipe could not be more straightforward! The prep is fast and most of the “time” for this recipe is backing time.
You can season this dish any way you like; you really can’t go wrong. This recipe is inspired Georgian-Abkhazian cuisine and spiced with ajika. You can get Ajika Georgian Seasoning Blend at Trader Joe’s or substitute some crushed chili pepper, coriander, cumin, garlic, and salt.
Ingredients
- 1 whole cauliflower head
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- Trader Joe’s Ajika Georgian Seasoning Blend
Optional for topping:
- Fresh parsley
- Sauce (I made a greek yogurt, garlic, and lemon sauce)
Cauliflower is a vegetable packed with vitamins and minerals. It is naturally high in fiber and B-vitamins, and antioxidants. Some studies suggest that cauliflower can boost the immune system, aid in memory health, assist in weight loss, and support hormone balance in both men and women.
Roasted cauliflower will keep for a few days in the refrigerator. I have never tried to freeze so I am unsure how the texture would hold up.
