Curry roasted cauliflower is a tasty side dish that's both delicious and healthy. It makes anyone a lover of cauliflower.

How do you turn a bland vegetable like cauliflower into a spicy magical side dish? Simply combine it with pungent spices for flavor, lemon juice to brighten, and olive oil to bring it all together.

The recipe is simple. In a large bowl, mix together the oil, lemon juice and spices then add the cauliflower. Toss thoroughly to coat. Be careful with when mixing because turmeric stains. Believe me, I know.

Turmeric is what gives curry roasted cauliflower its beautiful yellow color. It's already in the curry spice, but I find adding a little more makes its flavor stand out. Turmeric is also very good for you and has anti-inflammatory effects. I use it often in my recipes such as my adobo spice, rice pilaf, and even in my pineapple crush smoothie!
