This Roasted Curry Cauliflower never disappoints! While I often experiment with a variety of spice mixtures, this one has the perfect amount of zest and creates a really flavorful dish.
Cauliflower is a member of the cruciferous family of vegetables and contains a ton of anti-inflammatory nutrients. In particular, cauliflower is an excellent source of Vitamin K. Vitamin K helps prevent the initiation of inflammatory responses and since chronic inflammation can significantly increase our risk of disease, we definitely do not want it to get out of hand!
Another great thing about cauliflower is that you can eat the entire plant! Although this recipe uses only the florets, the stem and leaves are edible too and are especially good for adding to soup and stocks. When removing the core, first remove the outer leaves and then slice the florets at the base where they meet the stalks. You can further cut them, if you desire pieces that are smaller or of uniform size. Then toss with the spice mixture, roast and enjoy!

Such a lovely take on my recipe, Lindsey! We can't stop making it or eating it either. I've started making a version with teeny-tiny bits of cauliflower, roasted for only a few minutes, and we scatter them into salads. Cauliflower rocks!
