Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 large head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), cut into large florets
Nonstick olive oil cooking spray

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, stir together the oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry powder, and salt. Add the cauliflower, tossing to coat thoroughly with the spice mixture.

    Step 2

    Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared sheet. Roast until the florets are browned on bottom and tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.
