Spicy Cauliflower Roast

Sometimes I get bored of the usual cauliflower stir-fry or the onion-tomato based curry and make this simple yet tasty roast. All you need to do is marinate the cauliflower with few spices and grill it in the oven until brown. Some roasted cauliflower along with a salad and grilled fish makes a tasty but low-carb meal :).

Ingredients

Serves - 2

Spice level - Medium

Prep time - 15 min

Cook time - 20 min

1 Large cauliflower head - broken into medium sized florets

Turmeric - a pinch

Salt - as per need

Red chilli powder - 2 Tsp

Curry Powder - 2 Tsp

Cumin powder - 2 Tsp

Olive oil - 1 Tbsp

How do you do it

1. Bring a large pan with water to boil, add few tsp of salt and a pinch of turmeric and toss in the florets inside. Let it boil for 2 minutes. Stir well and drain. Pat with paper towels multiple times to remove excess water from the cauliflower pieces. This step is to remove worms from the cauliflower if any.

2. Put all the florets in a bowl, add required salt, turmeric, red chilli powder, curry and cumin powder, oil and mix well. Let it stand for 30 min.

3. Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil and spread all the marinated pieces on it. Pre-heat oven to 400 F.

4. Broil on high for about 20-30 minutes until the florets brown.

Serve with any salad on the side and some ketchup if you like.
