This roasted cauliflower is easy to make, and packed with healthy ingredients. A great low carb side dish which can be enjoyed with any main course.

Few main dishes you can serve this curried cauliflower with – Lasagna Roll Ups, Burnt Garlic Fried Rice, Indian Potato Tacos, Spaghetti with Garlic & Olive oil and Plain Biryani.

Why roast the Cauliflower?

Roasting in the oven caramelizes the natural sugars in the vegetable and adds a depth of flavor.

Cauliflower is very neutral in taste, so it takes in any flavors we add. so these warm spices and roasting in the oven makes the cauliflower very tasty.

Ingredients:

cauliflower florets, chutney, oil and spices in the picture

Cauliflower – fresh cauliflower washed and wiped dry.

Spices – curry powder, garlic powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder and black pepper

Oil – I used avocado oil, but you can also use olive oil or vegetable oil.

Chutney – made with cilantro, jalapeno, sour cream, cumin and garlic

How to make Roasted Curried Cauliflower

Preheat the oven to 425 F or 225 C.

Wash and the cut cauliflower to florets.

In a large bowl add the cauliflower florets, oil, curry powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, turmeric powder and salt.

Gently toss till the cauliflower is coated with the spices and oil. You can taste test at this point and adjust the salt and spices.

To get the golden brown edges, do not bake them on parchment paper.
