Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower by The Flexitarian

Give cauliflower a makeover with this delicious turmeric roasted cauliflower recipe. A healthy alternative to a curry, it is perfect for lunch or a light dinner.

The cauliflower is simply coated in coconut oil flavoured with turmeric, chilli powder, cumin, coriander and garlic. For a bit of crunch, I added cashews and chickpeas. This dish is best eaten warm with some extra fresh chilli pepper on top.

Easy and straightforward, this turmeric roasted cauliflower has a gorgeous deep yellow colour and is bursting with flavours and goodness.

This recipe serves 2 as a main or 4 as an appetiser. It also makes a great side dish for buffets as well as for Christmas or Thanksgiving.

I created this recipe for Buy Wholefoods Online who kindly sent me some ingredients for it.

Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower

Turmeric is a superfood, containing curcumin which is reknown for its anti-inflammatory properties and is thought to protect the body against oxidative stress and inflammation. An essential ingredient in Asian cuisine, turmeric has an earthy flavour and gives a gorgeous glow to dishes.

By choosing organic turmeric you can be confident that it has been produced without chemicals, ensuring unadulterated nutritional value and taste.

Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower

Buy Wholefoods Online’s cashews are naturally sweet and creamy. For all kinds of recipes, from sweet to savoury, they are truly versatile and an excellent source of healthy fats and vegan protein with plenty of dietary fibre.

I hope you enjoy this turmeric roasted cauliflower recipe as much as we do. If you make this recipe, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
