Serves 4–6
40 g (1½ oz/¼ cup) sesame seeds
1½ teaspoons cumin seeds
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1½ teaspoons onion powder
100 g (3½ oz/1 cup) grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 kg (2 lb 4 oz/about 1 medium) cauliflower, trimmed and cut
into 2 cm (¾ inch) pieces
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line three baking trays
with parchment paper.
Combine the sesame seeds, cumin seeds, coriander, onion
powder, parmesan, salt and pepper in a food processor and
process to a coarse powder.
Spread the cauliflower on the baking trays and drizzle with
olive oil. Toss to coat, then sprinkle with the parmesan mixture.
Turn on the oven, throw in some spice and
parmesan-slathered bits of cauliflower, bake until it’s all
gorgeously golden, then go find a movie to watch and dig in.
Vary the seasonings to suit your taste—caraway seeds, for
example, would work in place of the cumin
