HOW TO ROAST WHOLE CAULIFLOWER
Roasting cauliflower is incredibly easy – it just needs to be prepped, and then thrown in the oven.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
Remove stem and any leaves from cauliflower head.
Cover cauliflower in olive oil, rub in well.
Season with salt, pepper, sumac and dried mint.
Place in baking dish and cover with foil.
Roast for 30 minutes with foil.
Remove foil and continue to roast until golden brown and softened, about 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool – cauliflower will be extremely hot.
Slice and serve.

Serve over your favourite dip, I like to serve it with hummus.
