Slice cauliflower on the round, about 1-2cm thick, lay on tray with red onion, drizzle with about 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, toss gently to coat, then bake for 40 minutes.

Whilst veggies are cooking slice some of the Australian Red Seedless Grapes in half and keep some whole, then set aside.
