Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower (, firm not old and floppy)
- 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- Black pepper
- Oil spray ((I use olive oil) (Note 1))
- Finely chopped parsley (, for garnish, if desired)
- 1/2 cup / 50g grated parmesan (, the sand-like type (Note 2))
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs ((Note 3))
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano or thyme
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 200C/390F (standard) or 180C/350F (fan/convection).
-
Mix Crust ingredients in a small bowl.
-
Break cauliflower into large florets. Cut very large florets into 1.5cm / 3/5" thick slices, and the medium florets in half. You want a large flat surface area on each piece for the crust to adhere to.
-
Line a baking tray (30 x 40 cm / 12 x 16") with paper.
-
Drizzle tray with oil. Use a cauliflower to spread the oil all over the paper (see video).
-
Sprinkle Crust mixture all over the tray, as evenly as possible. Don't touch it once scattered.
-
Place cauliflower down on the Crust mixture, pressing down lightly. Don't jam them right up against each other (they will steam and go soggy), keep a tiny bit of space between each one.
-
Spray generously with oil. Sprinkle with a bit of black pepper (optional).
-
Bake for 20 minutes until crust is deep golden.
-
Use tongs to turn the cauliflower so the crust side is up. Bake for a further 5 minutes.
-
Serve immediately, sprinkled with finely chopped parsley or other herb, if desired.
