Cauliflower roasted with a nice combination of spices. I like to serve this with a dip made from yogurt, olive oil, and some fresh herbs (cress or cilantro are my favorites).

How To Make roasted spiced cauliflower

  • 1
    Begin with preparing the spice mix. Grind all spices together using either an electric coffee/spice grinder or a mortar and pestle. Store any leftovers in an airtight jar.
  • 2
    For the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 390° and brush a baking tray with olive oil. Cut the cauliflower into quarters, remove the core with a knife, and then cut into bite-size florets and rinse under cold water.
  • 3
    Distribute on a clean tea towel to dry. Grab a large bowl with a lid. Add the florets to the bowl, drizzle with at least 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of the spice mix, 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs; Close the lid and shake until the cauliflower is evenly coated. (You can also use a large zip top plastic bag.
  • 4
    Spread on the greased baking tray (cut surfaces down ensures a nice crisp crust) and roast for about 25 to 30 minutes on the middle rack, until the cauliflower is done and has gained a nice brown crust. Turn the cauliflower once after the bottom side has already gotten a good color. Enjoy!
