Turmeric-Roasted Cauliflower Recipe

Recipe By: Carolyn Casner

“Roasting cauliflower transforms it into a crispy, tender vegetable. A sponge for other flavors, cauliflower can absorb any spice mix or marinade you add, like this warm and toasty combination of turmeric, cumin and garlic. Serve as a simple side dish, or stir it into salads or grain bowls to add more plant power.”

Ingredients

• • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1½ teaspoons ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
• • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
