Ingredients

  • 2 heads cauliflower, cut into even bite-size pieces
  • 1 garlic bulb, split into cloves, unpeeled
  • 6 bay leaves, stalks removed, finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • zest and juice 1 lemon

Tip

Twist
If you don’t fancy garlic, roast the cauliflower with a little chopped red chilli or a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cumin seeds. Another idea is to serve it topped with shaved Parmesan.

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the cauliflower, garlic and bay leaves in a large bowl, toss with the oil, zest and juice and season generously. Spread evenly onto a baking sheet (use 2 if you need to). Roast for 20 mins, turning halfway, until al dente and caramelised.
