Receta Southwestern Roasted Cauliflower Recipe with Cumin & Paprika
Roasted Cauliflower is spiced up with southwestern flavors. It can never be considered the boring vegetable again.
As a kid, I never gave cauliflower any love. Really, the loveliest (well, as much as one can wax poetic about a cruciferous vegetable) didn’t start until a couple of years ago.
When it comes to the raw vegetable plate, the humble cauliflower are usually the last florets standing. But cauliflower has so much more potential than crudite platters. It has to be nurture, encourage and loved. Or may be that’s grated, pureed and roasted.
The first time I tried roasting cauliflower (with Indian spices), it got rave reviews. So, I thought a different version, this time using the flavors of the southwest, would be welcome at the dinner table. It was a hit! And this flavorful side dish took only 5 minutes of active prep time.
I think the cauliflower’s feeling the love now.
The recipe:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Cut cauliflower into florets, about 1 1/2-inches each. Transfer the florets to a bowl. Toss the cauliflower with the olive oil.
In a small bowl, stir together the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika and salt.
Pour the spice mixture over the cauliflower and, using your hands, toss to coat the cauliflower.
Transfer the cauliflower to a baking sheet and roast the cauliflower, turning occasionally, until it is tender and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve.
