Tumeric Roasted Cauliflower
Description
Tumeric Roasted Cauliflower begins with chopping a large cauliflower head into florets and mincing garlic. The florets are tossed in olive oil with a combination of ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper for a layered spiced profile. Roasting at 450 degrees Fahrenheit allows the cauliflower to cook through, become tender, and develop caramelized areas that concentrate its natural sweetness.
The turmeric provides a mild earthiness and a golden hue, complemented by the warmth of cumin and paprika. The red pepper flakes add gentle heat, which can be replaced by minced Fresno chile for variation. The resulting dish is a colorful, aromatic vegetable suitable for serving immediately as a side.
Stirring once during roasting ensures even cooking and browning. This preparation emphasizes distinctive seasoning while highlighting the texture contrast between crisp edges and soft centers.
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower about 2 pounds, large head
- 4 garlic medium cloves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Chop the cauliflower into florets. Peel and mince the garlic.
- In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower and garlic with the olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, then place the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25-35 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and browned, stirring once. Serve immediately.
