Lightly spiced blackened cauliflower with a touch of sweetness. Served with fresh herbs, melt in the mouth mozzarella or burrata cheese and pine nuts for a final crunch.
I love making a meal of vegetables. Cauliflower is just one of my faves. It’s just an incredible vessel for all the flavours and it’s firm texture holds up beautifully when roasted, crispy edges, tender florets and the whole ensemble is very moreish.
You can serve this on it’s own, as an appetiser, side, or just part of an array of tasty dishes for everyone to share and potentially fight over.
