Roast The Whole Perfect Cauliflower
April 30, 2014 19 Comments
Snack Girl is always looking for a way to save time. I never seem to have a leisurely day.

Both of my kids have taken up the sport of soccer so even the weekends have become a race to the finish line. My son is averaging 2 games a weekend and my daughter is playing one. I am the definition of the soccer mom (except that I don’t drive a mini-van).
I saw this cauliflower recipe on Mind Body Green and I HAD to try it.
How simple, no? - a whole cauliflower (no chopping) - smear on some marinade and you roast it. Doesn’t it look like something kinda “meaty”? I do think it looks spectacular.
This made a great side and I chopped it up the next day and tossed it in a salad (super yum).
One serving from this recipe has 8% of your daily value of calcium, 9% of your daily value of iron, and 77% of your daily value of vitamin C per serving. It is low in calories and healthy.
Have you tried roasting a whole cauliflower?

Spicy Roasted Whole Cauliflower Recipe
Serves 6
Ingredients
1 head cauliflower
1 ½ cups plain Greek Yogurt (0% or 2%)
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons chili powder

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Trim the base of the cauliflower removing the leaves and cutting out the woody stem.
In a large bowl, mix yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, curry powder, and salt. Dip the cauliflower into the bowl and smear the marinade on with a spoon or your hands. It should be well coated.
Place the cauliflower on the baking sheet and roast until surface is brown about 40 minutes.
