The Snacking Hour - Roast Cauliflower

Here's a healthy idea to help cope with that snacky feeling we sometimes get:

Roast Cauliflower
(Serves 2 - 3 people)

  • Wash and chop half a cauliflower into florets
  • Preheat your oven to 400F degrees (200C).
  • Combine 1 - 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 - 2 teaspoons of olive oil and around 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a bowl.
  • Toss the cauliflower florets into the lemon mixture until all are well coated.
  • Spread them in a single layer on a baking tray and roast for approximately 30 minutes.
  • The cauliflower florets will be well browned, some smaller pieces will even be almost black. Don't panic about that, just keep your eye on them so they don't burn. The dark bits are absolutely delish, tasty and crunchy.

These little treats are almost as good as hot chips for the VLCD dieter. I'd make these even if I wasn't on a diet.

Snack away, my pretty. Snack away.
