Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic & Paprika

We used this in tacos as a nice veggie option and served with Queso sauce.

Ingredients

• 70g breadcrumbs

• 1 cauliflower, stem trimmed

• 20g butter

• Flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

• Salt and pepper

• ½ lemon
  

For the paprika butter

• 1 tbsp smoked paprika

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 70g butter, softened

• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  

Method

1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. 

2. Cook the cauliflower in a saucepan of boiling water until just tender 5-6 mins.

3. Drain well and pat dry.

4. Meanwhile, combine the paprika butter ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

5. Transfer the cauliflower to a roasting tin and spread with the paprika butter. If the head of the cauliflower is tight make some holes with a knife to let the butter melt into it.

6. Roast for 20-25 mins, basting with the cauliflower juices halfway through, until golden.

7. Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in a frying pan.

8. Add the breadcrumbs and fry until lightly toasted and golden.

9. Remove and leave to cool, then mix with the parsley, salt and pepper.

10. Squeeze the lemon over the cauliflower.

11. Scatter over the breadcrumb mixture and leave to soak into the buttery juices.
