Maple and Smoked Paprika Whole Baked Cauliflower

Method

1. Heat oven to 200C bake or 180C fan bake and line a roasting tray or baking dish with baking paper.
2. Cut the bottom end of the cauliflower off so it lies flat. Cut a cross into the stalk; this will allow the heat to rise through the middle.
3. Microwave on high for 7 minutes or alternatively place the whole cauliflower in a pot of boiling water and  boil for 5 minutes.
4. Place the cauliflower in the roasting tray or baking dish.
5. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients to make a paste.
6. Drizzle over the cauliflower and rub the spice paste evenly.
7. Bake for 70 minutes. To check if it is cooked all the way through use a pointy knife and pierce the centre of the cauliflower all the way down the stalk.  If it cuts smoothly, it’s cooked.
