Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tsp chipotle powder (more or less for spiciness!)
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lime juice (1 medium to large lime)
- 1 tbsp coriander/cilantro leaves, finely chopped (optional, sub parsley or chives)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil and minced garlic. Use your hands to mix and coat the cauliflower well.
- Sprinkle the chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper over the cauliflower and toss to ensure even distribution.
- Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking tray. Bake for 25 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the edges are caramelized and the cauliflower is tender.

- Garnish with finely chopped coriander or parsley if desired, and serve hot.
