1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 6. Mix together all the marinade ingredients. Put the cauliflower in a large bowl and drizzle over the marinade. Stir well to make sure the cauliflower is well coated. Transfer to a roasting tin, making sure not to overcrowd the tin. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cauliflower is soft and starting to caramelise. Remove from the oven and set aside.
