Description

A stunning whole roasted cauliflower dish featuring a charred exterior and tender inner layers, perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

  • 1 whole cauliflower head (medium or large size)
  • 1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Yogurt tahini sauce
  • Chermoula sauce
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
  • Pita bread


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and prepare the cauliflower by trimming off any excess leaves and ensuring it is clean.
  3. Drizzle 1½ tablespoons of olive oil over the cauliflower, coating it evenly on all sides.
  4. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of salt over the surface.
  5. Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
  6. For added char, place it under the broiler for a few minutes, monitoring closely.

Notes

Consider adding spices like cumin or paprika and using a broiler for extra crispiness. Serve on a cutting board with sauces and pomegranate seeds for an appetizing presentation.
