Here are the thoughts I used to have about cauliflower:
What is this white vegetable pretending to be broccoli?
Who uses this?
Blah.
Now here are the thoughts I have about cauliflower:
Cauliflower and broccoli are so different!
Hey, I can use this in so many ways!
Mmmm.
I do love how versatile cauliflower is. But one of the easiest ways to use it is to roast it. That caramelized texture it gets when it’s been roasted to perfection is divine. Just look at that photo above! It gets soft and crispy at the same time. This curry roasted cauliflower packs a flavor punch. I also add a dash of turmeric, because, why not? It’s so easy to cut up a cauliflower (or buy a bag of pre-cut cauliflower if you’re feeling lazy), add a bunch of spices and oil, mix to combine, and roast! It makes the perfect side dish.
