Roasted spiced cauliflower is a delightful and healthy dish that combines the earthy flavor of cumin, the heat of chili powder, the aromatic touch of garlic, and the vibrant color of turmeric. This recipe transforms simple cauliflower into a flavorful and crispy treat that's perfect as a side dish or even as a main course for a light meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the half cauliflower into uniform florets. This ensures even cooking. Place the florets into a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp of ground cumin, 1 tsp of chili powder, and 1 tsp of turmeric powder.
- Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them. Add the minced garlic to the spice mixture.
- Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Drizzle the cauliflower florets with some olive oil (about 2 tablespoons).
- Sprinkle the spice mixture over the cauliflower. Toss the florets in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
- Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the cauliflower for 25-30 minutes, or until the florets are tender and golden brown on the edges. Stir halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a serving dish.
- You can garnish the roasted cauliflower with freshly chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness and zing.
Serve the roasted spiced cauliflower as a side dish or even as a main course paired with rice or quinoa.
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower florets are evenly sized to promote even roasting and ensure they all cook at the same rate.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a consistent cooking temperature, which helps in achieving a crispy texture.
- Toss the cauliflower with the spices and some olive oil in a large bowl to ensure each piece is well-coated.
- Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet to prevent steaming and promote browning.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, to ensure an even roast.
- For additional flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro after roasting.
- Keep an eye on the cauliflower towards the end of the cooking time to prevent burning; roasting times may vary depending on your oven and the size of the florets.
This roasted spiced cauliflower is a versatile dish that's not only easy to make but also packed with flavor. Whether you're serving it as a side dish or enjoying it on its own, the combination of spices brings out the best in the cauliflower.
