This whole roasted cauliflower, layered with spices, is the ultimate veggie centre piece. I love this recipe because it shows how amazing vegetables can be when you treat them with the same care as you might for a piece of meat. It’s a great winter recipe - use all the oven heat to make the house cosy! If you do eat meat, try putting this in the oven at the same time as a side.


Alternatively, it can be chopped up and added to a salad, made as part of a mezze spread with other plates of hummus and pitta.


If you don’t have all the spices I have listed below, that’s fine. The flavour will still be there if you manage to use the majority.


I tend to roast the leaves alongside the cauliflower since when they are crisped up and golden, they are really quite delicious.
