An easy recipe for Roasted Spiced Cauliflower with cumin, pepper, and mint and finished with a squeeze of lemon. Use as a side or stuff into sandwiches.
Ingredients
1 head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon Aleppo pepper or other red pepper flakes
black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon dried mint or 1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the cauliflower florets onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Add the olive oil, cumin, salt, and red pepper flakes and toss thoroughly with your hands to coat all of the florets.
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes then use a spatula or spoon to stir and flip the cauliflower around. Return to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes or until nicely browned.
When the cauliflower is done, remove from oven and add black pepper, mint, and lemon juice and toss to incorporate thoroughly. Serve immediately or at room temperature with an extra squeeze of lemon.
Notes
-If you make more than one head of cauliflower, just make sure you don't crowd the pan too much. You'll want there to be enough room around the florets so they brown nicely, so if you have a lot of cauliflower, use two pans.
-Cauliflower size can vary considerably so if you find yourself with a huge one, bump up the seasonings a bit to compensate.
