Roasted Whole Head of Cauliflower
4 portions
60mThis is how to roast a whole cauliflower head in the oven. The general concept of blanching then roasting a whole cauliflower is a winner in my book. The inside is tender and flavorful. Outside a little crispy and caramelly. This recipe is vegetarian and it makes for a dramatic dinner side!
