Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower florets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets, discarding the stem and leaves.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until a smooth sauce forms.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until the florets are evenly coated with the sauce.
Spread the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking, until the florets are golden and slightly caramelized on the edges.
Once roasted, transfer the cauliflower to a serving plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve the Deviled Cauliflower hot and enjoy its bold, tangy, and spicy flavors!
