Ingredients:

For the Roasted Cauliflower:

- 1 whole cauliflower

- 2 tbsp melted vegan butter

- 1 tbsp paprika

- 1 tsp fresh chopped thyme

- 1 tsp fresh chopped rosemary

- 1 tsp tomato puree

- 1 tsp soy sauce

For the Herby Crumb:

- 1 tbsp vegan butter

- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives

- 1 tsp chopped rosemary

- 1 tsp thyme

- 100g fresh breadcrumbs

Instructions:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C.

2. Remove excess leaves from the cauliflower and place it on its base on a baking tray.

3. In a bowl, mix together melted vegan butter, paprika, chopped thyme, chopped rosemary, tomato puree, and soy sauce. Brush this mixture generously over the entire cauliflower, ensuring it's well coated.

4. Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes or until the exterior is caramelised, and the cauliflower is cooked through.

5. While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the herby crumb. In a frying pan, melt vegan butter and add chopped chives, rosemary, thyme, and fresh breadcrumbs. Heat the mixture for 3-4 minutes until it becomes crisp and golden.

6. Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven. Sprinkle the herby crumb over the top of the cauliflower. If desired, scatter extra herby crumb on the serving plate.
