Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the cauliflower with extra-virgin olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the curry powder, ground cumin, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the cauliflower and toss again to ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated with the spices.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, turning halfway through, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic and thinly sliced red onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
Once the cauliflower is done roasting, transfer it to a serving bowl.
Add the sautéed garlic and onions to the bowl with the roasted cauliflower.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Toss gently to combine all the ingredients before serving warm.
