Ingredients

For the roast veg

  • 1 large cauliflower
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 sea salt
  • 1/2 chipotle chilli flakes
  • 1 bulb smoked garlic–or standard of you can’t get it

For the mash

  • The cooked cauliflower florets
  • Juice 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 5 tbsp almond milk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds

To serve

  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Flatbread

Instructions

  • Cut cauliflower in half and cut one half up into florets. Cut the other half into thick steaks.
  • Add to a large roasting pan with the oil, salt, chilli and whole garlic.
  • Roast for 20 minutes on 180c, then check on the garlic–remove when it’s soft and oozing a little.
  • Continue to roast the cauliflower for a further 15-20 minutes until the cauliflower is cooked and golden brown. Remove from the oven. Set aside the steaks.

To make the cauliflower mash

  • Toast the sunflower seeds in a dry pan until slightly toasted (be careful not to burn)–set aside.
  • Add the roast cauliflower florets, half the sunflower seed, lemon juice, salt, almond milk, olive oil and the roast smoked garlic to a food processor. Blitz until you get a creamy mash.

To serve

  • Add the mash to a large serving plate, top with the roast cauliflower steaks, sunflower seeds and cherry tomatoes.
  • Serve with warm flatbreads.
