Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, curry powder, salt and black pepper.
  • Arrange the cauliflower on the prepared pan in a single layer.
  • Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until browned, but be careful not to burn the florets. You may flip the cauliflower midway through roasting, but it's not necessary.
  • Drizzle the roasted cauliflower with the fresh lemon juice and toss to combine. Serve with cilantro or parsley and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Leftover roasted cauliflower will keep for 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be frozen as well, if needed.
  2. Add 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon for a slightly sweet addition. Or just a sprinkle of garam masala for more intense flavor.
  3. Oil free - Simply omit the olive oil. The cauliflower won't get nearly as golden and browned, but it still works.
  4. Frozen cauliflower - You can absolutely use this recipe with frozen cauliflower florets as well. Just mix the oil/spices with the frozen cauliflower and roast until browned and cooked.
