    A blackened cauliflower recipe that makes a great side dish but is equally as delicious by itself.  I could (and did) happily eat a bowl of it by itself.  Roasting a cauliflower brings out a nutty taste and to add these spices makes it a great flavour combination.  It has a warm heat that is not going to blow your socks off but will alight your taste buds.

    Low Carb & Gluten Free

    The inspiration for this dish came from the constant cooking of my blackened salmon dish for the Chief Taster.  It can be very frustrating not tasting a dish and relying on another person's comments.   I will often quiz him on a meat and fish dish with such vigour and throw so many questions at him that it may just turn him vegetarian just for an easier life.  Especially when I shine the torch into his face and demand answers if I get the reply "it's nice"!

    So what better vegetable to try this with then my favourite!  The versatile cauliflower!   I must confess that I had tried to cut cauliflower steaks to make this recipe a blackened cauliflower steak version but they crumbled all around me.  Whilst I quietly (okay, loudly) cursed the vegetable I then waved my knife around like a Samurai warrior and behold, the dish became a cauliflower floret!  If you can cut your cauliflower into steaks, then try roasting it in the spices for a delicious main dish.   Please feel free to send me your photos, to show me how it should be done!

      Delicious side dish. I used florets, increased the recipe to a full head, reduced the salt to 1/4 the recommended amount, slightly increased the olive oil and reduced the cayenne pepper to only 1 teaspoon. Had the heat I crave but was enjoyed by those who like it less spicy. One of the best recipes I have tried.

      Fabulous looking cauliflower!!!!!
      The only way I've had success in cutting 'steaks' is by keeping a decent amount of the stalk attached to the cauliflower to hold it all together..

        I tried but it crumbled...probably the quality of the cauliflower too, knowing Barbados!
