I make cauliflower often and wanted to season it in a way that was different and delicious. After doing a few Indian recipes I learned that the combination of mustard, cumin and sesame seeds are delicious together. All that and a few other things make cauliflower something special. Every cauliflower is a different size so exact portion size is impossible. This recipe will season around 4-8 portions depending on portion size and size of cauliflower.

Ingredients for around 6 portions

1 large cauliflower cut in florets (or two small)

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (not an exact measurement. I used a spray bottle and guesstimated)

1 teaspoon mustard seeds

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 Tablespoon sesame seeds

2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro – chopped

sea salt – to taste

ground black pepper – to taste

Instructions

Set oven to 450 degrees F.

Spray baking sheet with olive oil.

In a small mixing bowl add the mustard, cumin and sesame seeds and mix well.

Spread the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet in a single layer. Spray the cauliflower with olive oil. Sprinkle the seeds evenly over the cauliflower. Spray the cauliflower again with olive oil. Place baking sheet of cauliflower on the middle rack in the preheated oven. Remove cauliflower when cooked but not soggy and lightly charred. In my oven this took 20 minutes but your timing might differ.

Finish with fresh crushed sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

ENJOY!
