It’s easy to get into a rut at dinnertime, isn’t it?
I know that I tend to make the same recipes time and time again, because I know that they’re my family’s favorites. We love grilled chicken, dairy free potato soup, and curry spiced cauliflower.
But sometimes I want a little variation, and that’s where this recipe for seasoned roasted cauliflower comes in. The blend of spices is just right – not spicy, and not overpowering. The olive oil allows this cauliflower to get crispy and browned on the edges. And it was a big hit over here – there weren’t any leftovers!
I find that the crispiest pieces go first! It’s so hard to resist a deliciously crisp piece of roasted cauliflower.
Can you roast frozen cauliflower?
Yes, you can roast frozen cauliflower florets. It might take a little bit longer for them to cook, but they should get golden brown on the edges. I really prefer using fresh cauliflower florets, but frozen will work if you are in a pinch.
What can I substitute for garlic or onion powder?
If you can’t have garlic or onion, you can leave those out. Try making up your own variation – you could add more paprika, some Italian seasoning, or even some extra chili powder.
Is cauliflower good for you?
