Steps For Making This Lemon Herb Cauliflower

Break the cauliflower into florets and toss with olive oil and seasonings.
Roast the cauliflower pieces until crisp and golden on the outside, but butter-soft in the middle.

Whisk together a quick garlicky yogurt with Greek yogurt, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
Make the lemon-herb oil by gently heating olive oil with minced garlic and seasonings such as chilli flakes and paprika. Stir in fresh herbs (we’ve used parsley, coriander, and scallions) along with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
To assemble, spread the yogurt as the base of your bowl, pile the roasted cauliflower on top and spoon over the lemon-herb oil
Garnish with herbs, sesame seeds, and your favourite garnishes.
