Marinated baked cauliflower

Here's a sure-fire way to fall in love with cauliflower (as if you haven’t already!). Marinating makes this low carb darling milder and nuttier. Mmmm... for so many reasons, we can’t get enough of this!

Instructions

Instructions are for 6 servings. Please modify as needed.

  1. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower. Place the entire cauliflower in a plastic bag.
  2. Mix together lemon juice, spices and yogurt. Pour over the cauliflower. Let sit in the fridge for at least an hour, or marinate overnight for maximum tastiness.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  4. Remove the cauliflower from the plastic bag and place in a baking dish.
  5. Bake for approximately 45–60 minutes or until the cauliflower is soft inside and has a nice color on the outside.
  6. Pour melted butter or olive oil over the top, and sprinkle over finely chopped cilantro or parsley right before serving.

Tip!

If you’re in a hurry you can split the cauliflower into halves, quarters, or even smaller sections. Just be sure to split them into roughly the same size florets so they cook evenly.

    Sounds lovely. I am looking for vegetarian low carb recipes for my mum who is transitioning to LCHF and I think she would like this. Any ideas what would be a nice vegetarian accompaniment for this?

    How about some sliced, fried Haloumi-cheese? And maybe a nice bearnaise ore some other kind of sauce?

    I love roasted cauliflower and this sounds fantastic! I have used fresh chopped and powdered garlic and onion before and do add Tumeric to it but this takes it over the top. Yummm! Thank you for the wonderful idea!....my friends will thank you also.?

    You can try it in a skillet with a lid.
