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 – 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.
Grease the baking tray with oil and transfer the spiced cauliflower and spread it in an even layer.
Bake for 17-20 minutes until golden brown. After 12- 13 minutes of baking, turn the cauliflower to get golden brown on the other side. Remove and garnish with chopped coriander leaves and a squeeze of lime juice (optional)
Cilantro Jalapeno Chutney
While the cauliflower is baking, to a small blender jar add coriander leaves, garlic clove, jalapeno ( remove seeds if you prefer mild chutney), cumin powder, lime juice and salt.
Roughly blend them and add the sour cream and puree it again till creamy. Taste and adjust the salt and lime juice.
Keep it chilled till you are ready to serve.
Tips
Do not over crowd the pan, the cauliflower need that space for air flow to get crispy.
To get the golden brown edges, do not bake them on parchment paper.
