Mix up your side dishes with my crazy addictive Curry Roasted Cauliflower recipe.
Hi, happy healthy friends!
I had some cauliflower left over after using it for a prop in another post. I try to be really food waste-conscious, and make sure the Hubs and I eat every I buy for the blog, so I decided to brainstorm cauliflower ideas.
I've been wanting to make my own cauliflower pizza crust and "rice", but I wasn't feeling ambitious enough to make it happen.
So I decided to mix up the spices on a simple roasted cauliflower and add some Indian flavor. The result is this Curry Roasted Cauliflower and it is crazy addictive.
I set this dish on the table for the Hubs and I to try the night I made it, alongside our real meal. It was a "bonus" per-say and my thought process was we'd just try it and reheat it as a side dish later in the week. I had made a LOT of food that day.
So, I had one piece, loved it and went onto the eating my real dinner.
I didn't fill the Hubs in on my little "plan" to eat this later in the week, and a few minutes later I look down and ¾ of the plate is gone! The Hubs could NOT stop eating it. So once I figured we weren't going to have it for leftovers, I helped him finish it off.
This stuff is so addictive we ate the entire head of cauliflower in one sitting.
You've been warned! Only set out what you actually want to eat or it's all over. This just might be your new favorite way to eat cauliflower.
Pin for later!

Bradleigh@WideMeadow says
Found you on the Country Cook's Weekend Potluck, and this looks delicious. Pinned it and will have to try it. I blog on simple ways to eat real and food and live naturally over at http://www.widemeadow.com, and I love that this is delicious and healthy. 🙂 Have you ever tried roasting with coconut oil instead of olive oil? It's more heat stable and lends a slightly sweet hint to the dish. I love it.
JulieWunder says
I bet that would also be delicious! Coconut oil is amazing. Thanks for the suggestion. Heading over to your site now 🙂
Annmarie says
Drooling. This looks pretty amazing!
JulieWunder says
Thank you!! Hope you get a chance to try it.

Totally budget worthy too!
Cora says
Yay! I was trying to think of a simple way to use the head of cauliflower in my fridge. Too lazy for cauliflower crust right now.
The Pinterest layout looks great! I need to figure out how to do that
JulieWunder says
Thanks Cora! I use PicMonkey to do it. The collage option.
Leslie @ flora foodie says
Yes! I was just feeling bored with my little batch of typical veggie side dishes. I need more. Hopefully my man likes this as much as your Hubs did. 🙂 My most addictive dish that I've been way over-making lately is some crazy spicy and garlicky edamame. Can't get enough! But really time to start making something new...
JulieWunder says
That edamame sounds delish! You must share it!
Heather@hungryforbalance says
This does sound crazy addictive! I could even see myself eating this for a snack! Pinned!
JulieWunder says
Totally perfect for a guilt free snack.

Roasted cauliflower is our favourite way to eat cauliflower. It just changes the flavour so much.
