Spicy Whole-Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 3 teaspoons cumin
• 2 tablespoons grainy mustard

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 450º F.
2. Cut leaves from around the cauliflower, and cut out the center core to create a flat surface for cauliflower to balance, making sure to leave the head intact.
3. Rub vegetable oil over cauliflower and season generously with salt. Transfer to a baking sheet or pie dish and roast for 45 minutes, or until fork tender.
4. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, grainy mustard, chili powder and cumin in a small bowl. Set aside until cauliflower finishes baking.
5. Remove cauliflower from oven and brush olive oil mustard mixture all over. Let rest 5 minutes, so the mixture can soak into the surface.
6. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro or other herbs, then cut into four pieces and serve hot.
