Time 55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small head cauliflower
1 ½ teaspoons fennel seeds
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
1 ¼ teaspoons sea salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Trim large leaves off the cauliflower. Trim stalk so cauliflower can sit flat in a Dutch oven.
  • Grind fennel seeds with a mortar and pestle. Mix in smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk in olive oil to form a paste. Rub the paste all over the cauliflower. Drizzle lemon juice all over.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, covered, until tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover and baste with any juices that have pooled at the base. Continue baking, uncovered, until top is browned and center feels completely tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 15 minutes.

  • Choose the right cauliflower: For the best results, select a cauliflower that is compact and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads that have brown spots or bruises.
  • Trim and clean the cauliflower: Remove the outer leaves and any woody stems from the cauliflower. Cut off the bottom of the cauliflower so that it sits flat on a baking sheet.
  • Season the cauliflower: Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil and sprinkle it with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cumin.
  • Roast the cauliflower: Place the cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast the cauliflower in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly browned.
  • Serve the cauliflower: Roasted cauliflower can be served as a side dish or a main course. It can also be used in salads, soups, and wraps.
