Mustard Whole Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients

2 large heads cauliflower
1 clove garlic, halved
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Lemon wedges, for serving


Method

Position an oven rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat to 220 degrees C.

Line a baking sheet with foil.

Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, then trim the stem flush with the bottom of the head so the cauliflower sits flat on the prepared baking sheet.

Rub the outside of each head with cut garlic.

Whisk together the oil, 3 tablespoons mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl.

Put the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet and brush the entire outside and inside with the mustard-oil mixture.

Roast the cauliflower until nicely charred and tender (a long skewer inserted in the centre of the cauliflower should pass through easily), 50 minutes to 1 hour.

Let it rest for a few minutes.

Brush the roasted cauliflower heads all over the outside with the remaining 1 tablespoon mustard and generously sprinkle with parsley.

Cut the cauliflower into thick wedges and serve on plates with a sprinkle of salt and lemon wedges
