Roasted Curried Cauliflower
Roasting cauliflower completely transforms this white vegetable. Boiling or steaming cauliflower florets is nice, although the flavour can seem bland. But, throw them in the oven and the cauliflower sweetens and caramelizes as it roasts.
There is so much flavour bursting in each floret, that you may never cook them any other way!
How to Roast Cauliflower
Curry spices complement the roasted cauliflower very well. Make sure to whisk the spices in oil first as it really helps in the coating of the cauliflower. While they are in the oven, the aroma throughout the house is incredible.
I found that 400F is the perfect temperature to roast at, since it provides enough heat to brown and caramelize the cauliflower during the cooking, but does not burn them.
Once they come out of the oven, squeeze lemon juice all over the florets and then sprinkle them with sea salt.
Delicious!
