Crackling Cauliflower
Description
This recipe starts by coating chopped cauliflower and red onion with olive oil blended with a complex blend of spices: curry powder, garam masala, fennel seed, red chili flakes, and black pepper along with salt. The coated vegetables are roasted at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and a golden color. The roasting both crisps the edges and softens the interior, creating a pleasing contrast.
After roasting, thawed frozen peas are stirred in with freshly chopped cilantro to add a fresh pop of color and mild sweetness. The dish is allowed to cool slightly before serving, highlighting the toasted spices and warm flavors. The result is a spiced vegetable side dish with a firm-but-tender texture and fragrant aroma.
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower chopped into florets, bunch
- 1/2 red onion diced, large
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon curry powder
- 1/2 tablespoon garam masala
- 1/2 tablespoon fennel seed
- 1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes crushed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated, fresh
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 cup peas frozen
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°
- Take frozen peas out of the freezer and let thaw while preparing the cauliflower.
- Combine oil and spices (curry powder through ground pepper) and toss with cauliflower and red onion until all pieces are well-coated. Place cauliflower in a baking dish and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring about every 15 minutes for even cooking. The cauliflower should be crisp-tender and golden brown when done.
- Place in a serving bowl, then stir in peas and cilantro. Let cool a bit and serve.
