Ingredients
- cauliflower4 cups florets
- olive oil1 tbsp
- turmeric1/2 tsp
- salt1/2 tsp
Method
Cut small florets
Break the cauliflower into small, bite-size florets of a similar size. Small even pieces roast into crisp popcorn-size bites, and matching sizes stop some burning while others stay raw.
Season
Toss the florets with the olive oil, turmeric and salt until evenly coated. The thin oil layer carries the turmeric over every piece and helps the edges crisp up and turn golden.
Spread out
Spread the florets in a single layer in the basket so they brown instead of steam. Packed-together cauliflower traps moisture and goes soft, while spacing lets each piece dry and crisp.
Roast until golden
Roast at 190°C for 18 min, shaking the basket halfway through, until the florets are deep golden all over and crisp at the edges, with no soft pale spots left.
