- Serves:

6
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 1⁄2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
directions
- Preheat the oven to 400° and lightly grease a small baking sheet with vegetable oil. Set aside.
- Trim the base of the cauliflower to remove any green leaves and the woody stem.
- In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt with the lime zest and juice, chile powder, cumin, garlic powder, curry powder, salt and pepper.
- Dunk the cauliflower into the bowl and use a brush or your hands to smear the marinade evenly over its surface. (Excess marinade can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days and used with meat, fish or other veggies.).
- Place the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet and roast until the surface is dry and lightly browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Test with a skewer to check interior doneness and cook longer if necessary, being careful not to scorch the marinade. The marinade will make a crust on the surface of the cauliflower.
- Let the cauliflower cool for 10 minutes before cutting it into wedges and serving alongside a big green salad with a lime juice and olive oil dressing.

Bad, bad, incredibly bad. First 30 - 40 minutes at 400 degrees will give you a mostly raw cauliflower, from raw i would recommend an hour to an hour and a half. Second, and mos importantly, 2 TABLESPOONS of chili powder!? I like spicy food but my mother does not so i use half what is called for in recipes, i used 1 tablespoon and it was like eating pepper spray. DO NOT USE THIS RECIPE WITHOUT MAJOR ALTERATIONS!!!

Don't be fooled by the nice photo of this dish?mine looked exactly the same, but boy was it awful. Giving this recipe one star is being generous. The mix of ingredients, in theory, seemed interesting. As I followed the instructions exactly, I couldn't believe the overwhelming amounts of spices I was dumping into the bowl?no way this was going to be edible. I was right. This must be a weird practical joke. Served it to three veggie lovers who all spit it out simultaneously. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! VILE!

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
