Miso Roasted Cauliflower (packed full of umami flavour)

October 28, 2022

This article was written for Annabel & Grace, which is now part of Rest Less.

There is something about miso that I find irresistible. This recipe for Miso Roasted Cauliflower prompted me to pick up the ingredients when I was in the supermarket and try it for myself. I wasn’t disappointed. This is a seriously good vegetarian dish.

Miso is a protein-rich paste made from fermented soybeans and is a staple of Japanese cuisine. It adds the fifth taste – umami – to many dishes. The others being sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness. It has been variously translated from Japanese as yummy, deliciousness or a pleasant savoury taste.

When you combine ingredients containing different umami-giving compounds, they enhance one another so the dish packs more flavour than the sum of its parts. Which is almost certainly the reason this simple recipe is so flavourful. Miso is readily available in supermarkets, so why not pick yourself up some and experience the fifth taste for yourself…
