blackened seasoning + cauliflower is a power duo for flavor and health. Packed with fiber, as well as vitamins and micronutrients, blackened cauliflower is a simple veggie side that pairs well with many meals and can be a part of your balanced, delicious, healthy lifestyle. We love this roasted cauliflower to make meal prep simple and meal time easy!
This dish would be great with a tahini sauce or our quick cashew sauce!
cauliflower (1 medium cauliflower is about 2 lbs)
blackened seasoning (2 tsp/lb of cauliflower)
olive oil
- Preheat oven to 450
- Wash and trim the cauliflower into florets.
- Link a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the florets onto the parchment paper, then drizzle with olive oil (1-2 tsp). Toss to coat well.
- Sprinkle oiled cauliflower with blackened seasoning, then mix well again to distribute seasoning evenly. Use about 2 tsp blackened seasoning per pound of cauliflower. For a whole medium cauliflower, I would use about 4 tsp of seasoning. My trick here is to season, then taste a raw floret. If I want more seasoning, I add more!
- Roast for about 15 minutes at 450 F, until edges start to brown. I like my cauliflower softened slightly, but still crunchy in the center for some good texture. If you like your cauliflower softer, cook it for another 5 minutes.
