If you told me I will love this Malaysian Roasted Cauliflower, I would tell you you are crazy. I love raw cauliflower as well as fried but I never thought I would be into this one at all, but it is so good. You must try it!!!

Anyway, I finally get in the mood to write. Literally finishing one small paragraph and my babies whom I love very much, just had to come into my office.

One by one in the rotation and ask for something; food, paper, glue sticks, what game should they play and the list is endless.

There is no winning that war, I tell you. I just turn everything off and make something for them to eat, that would shut them up right away.

This is one of the side dishes or snacks as I like to call it, I made for my family this past week.

Not only that my family, to my surprise, like it, but each time I’ve used whole cauliflower and it was eaten. I was happy because it is a healthy snack, and it is full of flavor.

Side dishes you might like

Malaysian Satay Seasoning is mainly used for Satay, of course. For seasoned and diced or sliced chicken, lamb, beef, pork, fish, or tofu, skewered and grilled meat, served with a sauce.

You can most defiantly make your own. You can combin coriander, turmeric, ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, lemongrass, some chili, etc. some salt and pepper, olive oil, lemon juice to give even more flavor and voila.

However, I thought how much flavor would give if I try it with cauliflower. I love cauliflower and my family, but I usually like it raw or fried. I, on the other hand, can eat it, however, it is made, and this one was a winner for sure.

The first look and I could tell it was something out of their comfort zone. However, when they tried it there were no complaints whatsoever. I jumped in my car soon after and bought three more cauliflower. It was that good! 

This video is pretty old, and I am just now updating a recipe and pictures. I will work on a new video in the upcoming weeks.

• Trim off leaves and any brown spots, then separate cauliflower into smaller pieces and wash. Place in large mixing bowl. Pat dry with a paper towel as much as you can.

• Add 1 teaspoon of Coarse salt and 1 tablespoon of Malaysian seasoning; mix, trying not to crumble cauliflower.
• Add lemon juice and drizzle oil, then toss it to coat each piece.

• Transfer it into a Roasting pan, or baking pan lined with parchment paper/mat etc. Try to keep it in a single layer, meaning separate pieces so they have a little space in between.
• Roast for about 20 minutes, then shake a sheet pan and roast for additional 20 to 30 minutes. This also depends on how you like your cauliflower and on your oven. Also, to mention, If you are using AIR FRYER time will drastically change. air fry for 15 minutes and see how you like it. If you like it crunchier then air fry a bit longer.
