step 1

Rinse the cauliflowers and cut into small florets.

Then, transfer them to a baking tray lined with parchment paper, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and toss until well coated.

Roast in the oven for 10 minutes at 180°C (356°F) or 160°C (320°F) for fan ovens.

step 2

In the meantime, peel and finely chop the onion.

Remove the tray from the oven, add the chopped onions and crushed garlic.

Season with black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, oregano, and thyme.

Mix well until the florets are coated with the cajun seasoning.

Roast for additional 15 minutes or until the cauliflowers are cooked through.

step 3

While the florets cook, shred the red cabbage into strips and set aside.

In a salad bowl, lay washed and drained wild rocket and then the prepared red cabbage (1).

Top the vegetables with the roasted cauliflowers and sprinkle with toasted almond flakes (2).

Serve with a drizzle of oil according to taste. Enjoy!

Foodacious Tips

If you are using frozen cauliflower florets, increase the roasting time or allow to defrost thoroughly before cooking them.
Spinach or kale are great alternatives to wild rocket. They can also be used in combination for a more flavourful salad.
If you can't find roasted almond flakes, just chop regular almonds and roast in the oven at 180°C (356°F) for 5 minutes.
If you want to make a meal out of it, you can add tofu or shredded chicken as a source of protein.
