Try Mum's amazing recipe for a whole roast cauliflower for yourself! It will put a unique twist on a roast dinner classic! And no... it isn’t an alien, thanks Dad! Pre-heat the oven to 160C.
Brush cauliflower with half of garlicky oil. Loosely cover with foil. Roast cauliflower until just tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Uncover and continue to roast until very tender, about 10 minutes more.
Cut off and discard the stem and core of the cauliflower. Trim ¼ of the head into very small pieces; you should have about 1/3 cup. Trim the rest into medium pieces; you should have about 1 cup.
