Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tsp chipotle powder (more or less for spiciness!)
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper

- 1 tbsp coriander/cilantro leaves, finely chopped (optional, sub parsley or chives)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with the olive oil and minced garlic, mixing well to coat the cauliflower.
- Add the chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper, tossing everything together to ensure an even coating.
- Spread the cauliflower mixture on a baking tray and bake for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through until the edges are caramelized and the cauliflower is just tender.
- Take the tray out of the oven, push the cauliflower together, and drizzle lime juice over the top.
- Garnish with chopped coriander and serve hot.
Notes
Adjust the amount of chipotle powder based on your heat preference.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and reheated for later enjoyment.
