Roasted Lemon Cauliflower

A recipe from Georgia Department of Education School Nutrition

Our House Spice Blend is fantastic adding a unique flavor that perfectly complements the roasted cauliflower without being too overpowering. With the lemon zest bringing bright, tart, and sweet citrus flavors.

Roasted Lemon House Blend Cauliflower.

Ingredients:

  • 8 lbs + 12 oz Cauliflower, raw, florets
  • 4 oz Oil, canola
  • 1 tbsp Pepper, black, ground
  • 1 tbsp Salt, Kosher
  • 1/2 cup House Spice Blend
  • 1/4 cup Lemon, zest

Steps:

  1. Wash cauliflower under cool running water. Drain well and dry.
  2. Toss broccoli florets in oil and place evenly on a sheet pan sprayed with pan spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Take care not to overcrowd pans. This will cause the cauliflower to steam rather than roast.

  4. Place cauliflower in 400°F oven. Roast until caramelized, brown, and crispy- approximately 12-15 minutes.
  5. Rotate pan halfway through cooking in case of oven hot spots.

    Cook to 135°F or higher.

  6. Sprinkle the roasted cauliflower with House Spice Blend and lemon zest.
  7. Place roasted cauliflower in 2-inch, solid, half hotel pans for service.
  8. Hot hold, uncovered, for service.
  9. Hold at 135°F or above.

    Roasted cauliflower must be batch cooked throughout service to ensure quality.
