Whole roasted Cajun cauliflower is a super easy and tasty vegetarian recipe! I use fat-free plain yogurt and my Homemade Cajun Seasoning Blend to create a delicious crispy coating for the cauliflower! Served on its own with a salad or as a side dish! Total YUM!
I have had a majorly busy August, and I barely had time for myself and sadly cooking! I had to focus on quick meals because there was literally just no time. We needed quick, easy, healthy meals! Thus, we have this wonderful dish, Whole Roasted Cajun Cauliflower! I can prep this and throw it in the oven and its a no-fuss side dish! I made a batch of my homemade Cajun seasoning blend and I use that to prepare a few meals like this one and my Cajun Chicken and Pasta! I will also be sharing that recipe with you soon!

What I love about this cauliflower dish is how versatile it! The Cajun spice blend has just the perfect amount of heat and adds a great flavor to the roasted cauliflower. I love this with a side salad dressed with Avocado Buttermilk Green Goddess Dressing!
This low-fat, low-carb dish comes together by using fat-free plain yogurt, you can use Greek fat-free yogurt as a substitute. I combine the yogurt with the Homemade Cajun Seasoning Blend , lime juice, and there is nothing wrong with adding a little extra garlic flavor with some minced garlic. I spread the mixture over the entire cauliflower head,roast at 425 degrees, and patiently wait for it to be eaten! I love to top it with chopped parsley!
Have you ever roasted a whole cauliflower before? I hope you make this Whole Roasted Cajun Cauliflower, its delicious!
