    How to make harissa cauliflower

    This keto cauliflower is simple and can be made ahead. A whole head of cauliflower is trimmed and smothered with a vibrant sauce. To ensure that the harissa paste sticks to the surface of the cauliflower it is mixed with olive oil.

    Recipe Tips

    The baking time of the cauliflower will vary depending upon the size of the cauliflower you use.

    If the cauliflower starts to brown but is not soft enough, cover it with tin foil and continue to roast until soft.

    This can be reheated by covering with tin foil so it does not dry out. Reheat for 5 to 10 minutes.
