Cauliflower is one of our favorite veggies! It’s loaded with fiber and vitamin c and many other vitamins as well. I think it’s one of the most versatile veggies out there because whether it’s served fresh, cooked, riced or roasted…you name it, cauliflower can do it! The kids also love it and that’s always an added bonus. So what’s your favorite way to prepare cauliflower?

If you’re looking for something to serve this up with, I recommend trying my Curry Maple Mustard Chicken or using it as a topping on the Kasha Grain Bowls. I just had it on top of kasha today for lunch and it was fantastic!
Tip for Making Cumin Roasted Cauliflower:
- Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet. This creates the perfect environment for nice, even roasting.
- Be sure not to overcrowd them! Overcrowding on the baking sheet will not let the hot air flow around them, instead, make sure the florets are not too close together!

Love this simple but very tasty recipe. This is on rotation.
This is such a good recipe. Simple but very tasty – I’ll definitely be making it regularly.
I must compliment you on the way this recipe comes up in such a simple format, with the option to not print photos or nutritional info. With so many recipes you end up printing several pages with photos you don’t need, which is a total waste of paper.
I’ll be visiting your site again.
