Submitted by DailyInspiration

"Such a simple dish with only 3 ingredients excluding salt and pepper. Can't wait to try this dish."

 

• Ready In: 40mins

ingredients

• 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground turmeric (or more to suit your taste)

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the oil onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle on the turmeric. Spread the cauliflower on the pan in one layer. Drizzle with the remaining oil. Add the salt and several grinds of pepper. Mix with your hands to coat the florets.

I used a medium cauliflower sliced vertically into 1-inch slabs. I mixed 1 tablespoon of turmeric with 3/4 Tsp of garlic powder, 1 Tsp sea salt and 1/2 Tsp of ground pepper. I drizzled olive oil over the cauliflower followed by the spice mix. Cooked at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes, flipped the cauliflower over and cooked for a further 20 minutes. Excellent

I was searching for a simple Indian recipe for cauliflower, and picked this due to its simplicity. We loved it! But we did add quite a bit more turmeric (I may have doubled it) and also added a teaspoon of Muchi Curry (a powdered spice that you can buy at Whole Foods, which has cayenne pepper) and an onion to the cauliflower. I also cut the cauliflower larger than 1/4 inch florets (maybe that's an error?) But what a wonderful simple dish, thanks for sharing!

My whole family loved this recipe, a real keeper and I loved how easy to make. I too added curry. Will make again for sure

I'm another one who loves roasted cauliflower, and this recipe is spot-on. I used a LOT more turmeric than the recipe calls for, as that amount gave very little color to the cauliflower, and turmeric is a very healthful spice. Other spices can easily be added to this for more variety, according to taste. We had it with Recipe # 380617 and brown basmati rice and both enjoyed the meal a great deal.

I add garlic powder and a small amount of curry powder. I love this and I am not a huge fan of cauliflower.
