Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower broken into florets
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 4 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F.
  • Dry the cauliflower florets very thoroughly.
  • Zest the lemon.
  • Mix the lemon zest, cumin, curry powder, garlic powder, and cornstarch together, with a generous pinch of sea salt.
  • Add the spiced salt to the cauliflower, and rub it into well, making sure it is well coated in the spice powder.
  • In an oven-proof skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the spiced cauliflower and fry for about 3-4 minutes until crispy on the underside. Turn, and fry for another 2 minutes, then transfer to the oven.
  • Roast for 18-20 minutes, until well-browned and deliciously crunchy-looking.
  • Squeeze over some lemon juice to taste, and serve hot, optionally with some dips on the side.
