Roasted Cauliflower Recipe

I’ve been making this Jamie Oliver inspired roasted cauliflower recipe for years and I mainly serve it as a main. It’s something we all love and can’t get enough from, so just don’t underestimate the amount of cauliflower you need to make this tasty roasted dream of a dish! If you’ve been on my recipes before you’ll know by now that I love cutting corners in cooking! Anything for a simple life without the compromise of taste and nutrients – but it really did not work out for this roasted cauliflower dish! Ha ha! So don’t make my mistake and go straight to roasting your cauliflower. You must par-boil it before you roast otherwise it shrivels into such small portions and you won’t have enough for a side let alone as a main 😉

You live and learn tough and it is so worth to go through all the steps properly. I can’t reminder out of which of Jamie’s books I have this recipe and how much I have changed it over the years? But here is how I cook it today. All credits go to Jamie Oliver! We love this roasted cauliflower dish – thanks mate.  That dressing is just the best!
