Whole Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients

  • one 2lb head of cauliflower
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil OR olive oil, divided
  • 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp coarse black pepper
  • 1 fresh lemon juiced
  • a handful of fresh parsley chopped to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees f.
  • Using a paring knife, CAREFULLY cut and remove the core, then discard as shown.
  • Try not to take out too much as your cauli head still needs to hold together in one piece for this.
  • Prepare a baking dish large enough to fit the whole cauliflower, and grease it with half a tablespoon of your divided oil.
  • Add the head of cauliflower, cut side down. Drizzle with remaining oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, sea salt, and pepper.
  • Rub in the seasonings with your hands to get it all well coated.
  • Roast for 50-60 minutes, or until it's browned on the outside and a skewer pokes into it very easily (I love the crispy outside crust this creates!) Cut into wedges and serve with lemon juice and fresh chopped parsley.
