Whole roasted cauliflower with spicy yoghurt

This whole roasted cauliflower makes a stunning centerpiece on your dining table and besides the fab spices, becomes gorgeously soft in the middle. I can’t seem to get enough cauliflower recipes, it such an underrated vegetable.

Serves 6

1 good-sized head cauliflower
1½ cups plain Greek yoghurt
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp curry powder
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper

For serving:
1 red chili, finely chopped
Handful of parsley, roughly chopped
½ lemon, zested

Preheat the oven to 400F and line a small baking sheet with baking parchment
Trim the base of the cauliflower to remove any green leaves and the woody stem
In a bowl, combine the yogurt with the lemon zest and juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, curry powder, salt and pepper.

Spread the marinade all over the cauliflower so that it is completely covered
Place the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet and roast until the surface is dry and lightly browned, 40-50 minutes, depending on the size.

Let the cauliflower cool for 10 minutes, drizzle with some yogurt, a few slices of chilli, and a sprinkling of chopped parsley

Scatter over the zest of one lemon and voilà
