Umami-Roasted Cauliflower
So, it turns out the humble cauliflower has a most unexpected addictive quality when combined with the umami-rich flavours of Rather than Flowers.
It takes on a savoury depth that is perfect a central part of a plant-forward menu or served as a side to beef, pork or chicken.
Cut the florets thin and try to keep them separated in a hot oven to boost the sweetness of the caramelizing effect (this will also reduce the time in the oven). And finish the dish with a few chile flakes for a bit of heat.
INGREDIENTS
The Florets of 1 head of cauliflower, trimmed, washed and dried
1 Tbsp Olive oil
⅓ Cup Coconut Amino’s
1 ½ Tbsp Rather than Flowers
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Onion powder
1/4 tsp Chiles * Optional
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 425 and prep a sheet pan with foil.
- In a small bowl, mix everything but the chiles.
- In a large bowl, drizzle the mixture over the cauliflower. Toss using your hands to get the flavours into the nooks and crannies of the cauliflower.
- Place cut cauliflower on the pan, sprinkle the chiles overtop and bake for 18 minutes. Turn and continue to bake for another 12 minutes.
