CURRY ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Today we are talking about this Curry Roasted Cauliflower. A whole lot of yum…  But first things first. How was everyone’s Halloween?

In Chicago it was bone chilling cold but we still braved the weather for the love of the candy, right? Ninja Will just had to get some trick of treating in and our poor little giraffe was less than thrilled since he can’t even partake in the trick or treating or candy eating! 😉

I can’t handle the cuteness of baby costumes. I mean how cute and cuddly are they? Oh and that Ninja and his round little face. Too much!

Ok enough costumes and on to today’s recipe for Curry Roasted Cauliflower.

I love roasting cauliflower. It brings out the sweet flavor and helps soften it nicely but also gives the edges a crispy texture. When you coat the cauliflower with the olive oil, curry and red pepper it creates a warm, spicy flavor that really packs a punch and gives it that rich yellow color.

When you are done roasting the cauliflower garnish with a lot of freshly chopped cilantro.  There is something so right about warm curry flavors paired with fresh cilantro.

While Curry Roasted Cauliflower makes a great side dish you can also add this to a stir fry or pair it with grilled chicken over a bed of rice, quinoa or couscous.
