- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Trim the tough outer leaves from the cauliflower, leaving any tender smaller leaves attached.

- Remove the cauliflower from the oven and spread this mixture all over the surface.
- Return to the oven uncovered and continue to cook for approximately 30 minutes or until browned on top.
