Ingredients

Scale

Cauliflower

  • 2 medium heads of cauliflower, cut into florets

Honey Curry Marinade

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the cauliflower to a crisp, golden finish.
  2. Mix Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, curry powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper until the mixture is well combined and aromatic.
  3. Coat Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the honey curry mixture until each piece is evenly coated with the flavorful marinade.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even roasting.
  5. Roast: Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking to promote even browning and ensure all sides get crispy and tender.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving for a fresh, herbaceous finish.

Notes

  • For a smoky twist, add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the spice mix before tossing with the cauliflower.
  • Substitute maple syrup for honey to make this recipe vegan-friendly without sacrificing sweetness.
  • Make sure to stir halfway through roasting to get evenly caramelized and crispy florets.
