This turmeric roasted cauliflower recipe couldn’t be easier to make. Once your cauliflower is chopped up into bite-sized pieces, toss it with olive oil and spices and roast it with lemon slices until it’s golden and crispy. Squeeze the roasted lemons over top and serve with fresh cilantro. Roasting the cauliflower brings out its sweetness, while the spices give it a mild curry flavor, and the lemon and cilantro make everything pop! It’s an easy side dish that’s perfect for weeknights and for weekly meal prep, too. It is super versatile and tastes incredible on its own, as a side, in a grain bowl, or tucked into a wrap.
Cauliflower – we cut a large head of cauliflower into equal-sized florets. Olive oil – be generous with the olive oil because it helps the cauliflower get nice and crispy. You can also use coconut oil or avocado oil. Seasonings – we used a savory combination of ground turmeric, sea salt, chili powder, black pepper, and ground ginger. You could easily add other spices like cumin or garlic, too. Lemon – roasting the lemons with the cauliflower not only warms them up which is nice for hot food, but also gives them a char and helps them to release their juices.Cilantro – cilantro adds a pop of bright green color and fresh flavor. You could also use parsley if you prefer.
