If
it weren’t for its distinctive shape, many people who have tried these roasted
cauliflowers wouldn’t have guessed that that’s exactly what they’re eating! Roasted
cauliflower is also a favourite in the clean-eating realm for being a healthier
alternative to French fries, due to its similar taste when roasted.

Roasted
Cauliflower Fries Recipe
Vegan, Soy-Free,
Nut-Free, Gluten-Free
Ingredients:
1 cauliflower
head, cut into florets
1/4 cup extra
virgin coconut oil
2 tablespoons Italian
herb mix*
Sea salt +
cayenne pepper
*you can find
several brands of herb mixes around, but we love Hero Market’s mix the most!
Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
2. Mix the coconut oil, herb mix, sea salt and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
3. Dunk each
cauliflower floret in the herbed oil mixture.
4. Arrange on a baking tray.
5. Roast for 20
minutes, or slightly more if you like them much browner (which gives it much
more of that caramelized flavour as well).
6. They're at their best when they're slightly mushy and take on a faintly translucent layer.
Cauliflower
can seem quite daunting in its raw form but it blossoms into an astonishingly
delicious snack once roasted; it’s totally unreal! While it doesn’t taste
exactly 100% like French fries, we do have to admit the flavours are still
comparable. In fact, if we have to choose between the two, we’d much prefer a
side of these roasted cauliflowers, with their complex layers of flavours and
texture.
Yeah,
we can see your face all scrunched up in doubt. Cauliflower over FRENCH FRIES? Really?
All we can say is, just give this recipe a try =)
happy cooking!
