Equipment: Large baking tray

Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower (about 800 g), cut into florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1-2 tsp chipotle paste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1 small handful coriander (cilantro), chopped
  • Salt

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).
  2. Mix the oil, chipotle paste, cumin and a pinch of salt, then toss with the cauliflower and spread out on a large baking tray.
  3. Roast for 25 minutes, turning once, until golden and tender.
  4. Squeeze over the lime and scatter with coriander to serve.

Swaps and tips

Spread the florets out well so they roast rather than steam. Check the chipotle paste label if you need it gluten-free.

Easy variations

  • Add a drizzle of yoghurt or soured cream to serve
  • Use broccoli instead of cauliflower
  • Scatter with toasted pumpkin seeds
  • Add a pinch of smoked paprika
