SPICY WHOLE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

By Erin McDowell, on PureWow.com, January 23, 2014. I was skeptical at first, but we enjoyed the unusual combination of spices, it's sort of a vegetarian version of a tandoori dish. Please note that the first word in the title is "spicy"; if your palate is not accustomed to strong, earthy spice blends, you might consider suggest finding an alternative marinade or cutting back on the amounts of spices for this technique, but if you like robust flavors go whole hog. In my experience, the cauliflower needed 10 or 15 extra minutes to cook, checking for doneness with a metal skewer, and the head I used was a small, organic one. We used the leftover marinade the following day on some broiled chicken.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 head cauliflower
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 lime, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400° and lightly grease a small baking sheet with vegetable oil. Set aside.
  • Trim the base of the cauliflower to remove any green leaves and the woody stem.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt with the lime zest and juice, chile powder, cumin, garlic powder, curry powder, salt and pepper.
  • Dunk the cauliflower into the bowl and use a brush or your hands to smear the marinade evenly over its surface. (Excess marinade can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days and used with meat, fish or other veggies.).
  • Place the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet and roast until the surface is dry and lightly browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Test with a skewer to check interior doneness and cook longer if necessary, being careful not to scorch the marinade. The marinade will make a crust on the surface of the cauliflower.
  • Let the cauliflower cool for 10 minutes before cutting it into wedges and serving alongside a big green salad with a lime juice and olive oil dressing.
