Ingredients 

  • 1 head cauliflower

For the sauce:

  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • ½ tsp liquid smoke optional - you can replace with smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp garam masala spice blend
  • 1 Tbsp peanut butter runny
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp soy sauce thick
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cayenne

For serving:

  • your favorite green salad to serve

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 200 C (390 F).
  • Rinse and dry the cauliflower head, then carefully cut off the bottom stalk so it sits flat.
  • In a bowl, add all the sauce ingredients and whisk until well combined.
  • Use a brush to evenly coat the cauliflower all over with the sauce.
  • Place the cauliflower in an oven-safe dish lined with baking paper.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until nicely browned and tender.
  • Serve with extra sauce and a green salad on the side.

Notes

Serve hot with extra sauce drizzled on top and a fresh green salad on the side. Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to keep the edges crisp.
