Spicy Roasted Cauliflower
One of my favorite side dishes is cauliflower roasted with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, hot sauce, and cumin. Spicy roasted cauliflower is an easy, healthy, make-ahead side dish perfect for barbecues, picnics, or any occasion.
How to Roast Cauliflower? Boil the florets for couple of minutes, toss them with olive oil, soy sauce, spices, and lemon juice, spread on a sheet pan, and roast in a hot oven until golden brown.
What pairs well with cauliflower? Roasted cauliflower pairs well with a variety of dishes and flavors, such as grilled or roasted meats, seafood, cheese, or tahini sauce.
Yield: Serves 4
- 1 large head cauliflower, stems trimmed, cut into florets
- juice of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes. Drain the cauliflowers and pat dry.
Place the florets in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, soy sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, cumin, and lemon juice. Toss the florets until they are evenly coated.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place cauliflower in baking sheet and spread in a single layer.
Bake in the oven until cauliflower turns golden brown, about 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through. Remove the florets from the oven and serve.
