I can think of no better way to cook or eat cauliflower than this.
Yes, that’s a bold statement.
Cauliflower can be a little meek, a little…boring. I’ve never met anyone who craves it, or who proudly asserts “I love cauliflower!”
Even if you do love cauliflower (you rare person, you), I’m sure you’d love to see a fresh take on it.
Leave it to the folks at Martha Stewart to give cauliflower a big pop of flavor without too much work.
It’s as easy as turning the oven on, giving it a little rub down with big flavor, and a little roasting time for something really special. I made this roasted curried cauliflower as a side dish, but ended up snacking on it a little, then a little more…and it never really made it to the plate.
I love how the curry powder turns the white cauliflower a cheery yellow, and how roasting it browns the edges and makes it slightly nutty.
My new favorite. Now I can say I crave cauliflower.

Jackie,
Good luck! 🙂
Kemi,
They are whole. Adds a nice crunch!
I just made up a batch of curry powder and I’m taking it on a test drive with this recipe. Thanks for posting. I left out the chili powder in hopes that the kid will eat it. Wish me luck!
: )
oh this looks great my fav dish with cauliflower is aloo gobi
Since I’m one of those rare people who actually love cauliflower, guess I’m gonna have to give this a try. Soon! Love your blog 🙂
So I bookmarked this last week since i had a head of cauliflower in my fridge… just made it today. actually i’m eating it now. i changed the recipe a bit just bc of what i had on hand, but man oh man, this really got me to eat my veggies. i upped it to two tbsp olive oil, used ground cumin and ground mustard, and i didnt have nonstick spray so just greased the 13×9 pan with olive oil. Also kept it in for an extra 5 ins bc i like it browned 🙂
Thanks for sharing! I’ll def make this again, prob for a family dinner as a side dish… if i feel like sharing that is.
Are Cumin and mustard seeds whole or ground?
I am one of those that loves cauliflower. I often roast it just drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper. It’s addicting.
I will definitely try this recipe.
Cauliflower is so often overlooked and this is a great recipe to highlight it. I love it.
