Scale
Main 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: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
- Toss Cauliflower: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, olive oil, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the florets are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the cauliflower out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Roast Cauliflower: Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, allowing the cauliflower to brown lightly. You can flip the florets halfway through roasting for more even color, but this step is optional.
- Add Lemon and Herbs: Remove the cauliflower from the oven, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and toss to combine. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro or parsley before serving for added freshness and color.
Notes
- To enhance flavor, toss cauliflower with garlic powder or turmeric along with curry powder.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
- You can use parsley instead of cilantro if preferred or as an alternative garnish.
- Serve this dish warm or at room temperature; it pairs well with rice, quinoa, or as a side to grilled meats.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper roasting and browning.
