👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Cook the cauliflower whole in boiling salted water 10 minutes, and drain well.
    ⚙ Cooking in salted waterStovePotColander
    💡Boiling first softens the whole vegetable all the way through, and the oven only browns it outside: without it, a whole vegetable needs much longer in the oven.
    💡The water should taste like a seasoned soup, not like sea water: a heaping teaspoon of salt per liter. Add the salt once the water is boiling.
  3. 3
    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, gluten-free breadcrumbs, turmeric, paprika and salt and coat the cauliflower with the mixture on all sides.
