To bring out cauliflower's best flavor, I like to roast it until it's really caramelized and tender. Thanks to its naturally mild taste, it takes so well to whatever flavor profile you introduce. In this recipe, the heat from the curry powder and cayenne is balanced by the sweetness of golden raisins. Cool, crunchy chopped celery and fresh parsley adds a refreshing flavor and texture contrast. The cauliflower is delicious served as a healthy, dairy-free side dish with roast chicken or fish, perfect for cozy winter meals or casual dinner parties.

Ingredients

1 large head of cauliflower
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon curry powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Dash of cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons yellow raisins
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced on the bias
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°.
Chop the cauliflower into 1/2" florets and place on a large baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together oil, curry powder, salt and cayenne. Pour oil mixture over the cauliflower and toss to coat evenly.
Roast for 20 minutes, then flip and roast for an additional 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with raisins, celery and parsley. Toss to combine and serve immediately.

Mealthy tip:

Try making curried cauliflower rice. Pulse the cauliflower florets in your food processor, then sauté the "rice" over medium-high heat with the oil, curry powder, salt and cayenne. You won't get the same caramelized flavor, but it's a great grain substitute.
