How to make the recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Add the cauliflower and red onion to a roasting tin, toss with the Sacla’ Vegan Chilli Pesto and olive oil and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20-30 mins or until golden and crispy. Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs for the last 5 mins.

Step 2

Mix together the Vegan Chilli Pesto and maple syrup and toss a little over the cauliflower as it comes out of the oven.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower into a serving bowl, top with the spring onion and coriander leaves and spoon a little more Pesto mix on top. Put the remainder in a small bowl and serve on the side. Dig in!
