1. Place cauliflower florets on a baking tray and bake at 180 degrees celscius for 20-30 minutes until slightly golden
2. While cauliflower is roasting, combine breadcrumbs, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and curry powder in a small bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil and a little salt. Combine with a spoon.
