BBQ Beef Sloppy Joe with Roasted Cajun CauliflowerBBQ Beef Sloppy Joe with Roasted Cajun Cauliflower — a 35-minute lunch recipe with 9 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 (283 g) bags cauliflower florets

1 small bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

1.02 kg lean ground beef

6 whole grain buns or rolls

barbecue sauce

black pepper

Cajun seasoning

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).

Place cauliflower on a large baking sheet pan, drizzle with oil, then sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and salt. Stir to coat and spread out in an even layer.

Place baking sheet in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and roast, stirring halfway through, until cauliflower is golden and fork-tender, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add beef, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, 5-6 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash, dry, and shave parsley leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Set aside.

When the beef is done, add barbecue sauce and stir to combine. Continue to cook until heated through and slightly thickened, 2 minutes more. Cover with a lid and remove from heat.

Toast buns if desired.

When the cauliflower is done, remove from the oven, add parsley, and stir to combine.

Place bottom half of each bun on a plate. Top with barbecue beef, then close with the top half of the buns. Serve roasted cauliflower on the side. Enjoy!
