Curry Roasted Cauliflower is roasted with extra virgin olive oil, curry powder and cayenne, then finished with fresh cilantro for a tender, flavorful side. Its warm spice and golden color make it a great addition to grilled meats, seafood, grain bowls or served over hummus.

I love roasting cauliflower because it brings out the vegetable’s natural sweetness while giving the edges a pleasant crisp. This recipe is vegan, gluten-free and Mediterranean-diet friendly — an easy way to get extra vegetables on the table. Toss the florets with olive oil, curry powder and a touch of cayenne for warmth and depth, then roast until tender. Finish with plenty of chopped cilantro for brightness.
Serve this curry roasted cauliflower as a side, add it to a stir-fry, or pair it with grilled chicken over rice, quinoa or couscous. If you enjoy roasted cauliflower, try other variations like za’atar roasted cauliflower, turmeric roasted cauliflower, or roasted Parmesan garlic cauliflower for different flavor profiles.
