- Remove all the leaves from the cauliflower and cut away the hardest part of the stalk.
- Place the cauliflower in a large pot of water and bring to the boil for 6-8 minutes, until the cauliflower is soft but not completely cooked through.
- Pre-heat the oven to 220°C.
- Remove the cauliflower from the pan and place it in the oven dish. Whisk together the olive oil, paprika powder, garlic powder and salt in the small mixing bowl. Use the kitchen brush to brush this mixture over the cauliflower, until it is completely covered.
- Roast the cauliflower for 30-35 minutes, until it is a golden brown colour. Test that it is now fully cooked by pressing a fork into it.
- Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce in the small mixing bowl. Add a little water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Place the roasted cauliflower on a serving platter. Sprinkle the pomegranate syrup over it and garnish with plenty of fresh parsley and (if desired) some pomegranate seeds and almond flakes.
