Instructions

Roast Cauliflower

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan forced.

2

Remove the leaves and woody stem section from the cauliflower head and divide the cauliflower vertically. One head of cauliflower gives 4 cauliflower steaks. It's unlikely that the outer wedges will hold together as one piece, being so close to the edge.

3

Place the cauliflower steaks and any leftover pieces onto a lined baking tray. Combine the flavoured oil ingredients and brush 2/3 over the cauliflower. Try and get into most of the nooks and crannies.

4

Put the tray in the oven and roast the cauliflower for 50-60 minutes, or until deeply browned and fragrant. Turn the cauliflower halfway, brushing it with the remaining flavoured oil before returning it to the oven.

Assembly

1

Spread hummus onto each plate for serving, then lay the roasted cauliflower pieces on top.

2

If finishing with yoghurt, mix 4 tbsp greek yoghurt with 2 tsp lemon juice and a pinch of kosher salt.

3

Drizzle/sprinkle any or all of the toppings over each plate, and serve immediately.

Notes

Omit the lemon yoghurt sauce for a vegan recipe.
