Indian Roasted Cauliflower Recipe
Description
This Indian Roasted Cauliflower recipe first cuts a medium cauliflower into bite-sized florets, then seasons them with a blend of ground spices: garam masala, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika, balanced by sea salt and black pepper. Drizzles of extra virgin olive oil and melted unsalted butter help the spices adhere and promote browning in the oven.
Roasting at a high temperature (425℉) encourages caramelization, resulting in cauliflower pieces with golden-brown edges and a tender center. Fresh thyme leaves scattered over before roasting add a subtle herbaceous aroma that complements the Indian spice blend.
The finished cauliflower serves well as a flavorful side dish that can accompany a range of meals. It pairs well with dips or chutneys and benefits from serving warm to best appreciate the texture and spice profile.

- 1 cauliflower medium head
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
