Roasted cauliflower with yogurt marinade
A fabulous way to get maximum flavour from the humble cauliflower.
Serve this as one of your accompaniments to a roast dinner, or with my Spicy Chickpea Casserole (https://acooksplot.com/2025-01-12-spciy-chickpea-casserole), as in the photo. Roasted cauliflower works really well in an airfryer, but can also be made in a conventional oven
Ingredients
Serves 2
- Medium-sized cauliflower
- 5 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp paprika
- pinch chilli powder
- half tsp cumin
- half tsp dried oregano
- toasted flaked almonds, to serve
Method
Break the cauliflower into medium-sized florets and set aside, then make the marinade by mixing together all the other ingredients and seasoning well. Stir the cauliflower into the marinade and leave at room temperature for up to an hour (no longer or water will start to be drawn from the cauliflower, which will stop it crisping up when it's roasted).
Take each floret out of the marinade with tongs and allow the excess to drip off. Place in the airfryer basket and cook at 180C for 15 mins (or on a baking tray in a conventional fan oven at 190C for 20-25 mins). Space out the florets evenly and turn them once during the cooking time to ensure they are tender and golden brown all over. Scatter with toasted flaked almonds just before serving.
A Cook's Plot Tip
The leftover marinade makes a great dip for crudites or chips and can be stored, covered, in the fridge for up to 3 days
