Crispy Curry Cauliflower Bites

Renée Naturally Qualified Naturopath, Nutritionist & Western Medical Herbalist

For me, cauliflower done right is ridiculously moreish – once that crunch factor hits, I genuinely can’t stop. And with this one, it’s so right. Golden, crisp edges, just the right amount of sweet and spice… this is the kind of tray you’ll be scraping the crispy bits straight from the pan into your mouth before it even makes it to the table. But it is worthy of sharing… if it can make it to the table. Lovely on its own, or pairs well with roast lamb or grilled haloumi. Enjoy!

 

Nutrition Bite

Cauliflower is a great source of fibre, which supports healthy digestion and helps keep you feeling full. It’s also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, helping to support your immune system and reduce inflammation.

Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into medium florets
  • 2½–3 tablespoons The Good Oil, or melted coconut oil
  • 1½ tablespoons honey
  • 1½ teaspoons curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1–2 teaspoons lime or lemon juice
  • ½ cup chopped nuts, such as cashews, almonds or pistachios
  • Small handful of fresh coriander, roughly torn

 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C fan bake and line a large tray with baking paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, honey, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Add the lime or lemon juice and stir until you have a smooth, glossy coating.
  3. Add the cauliflower and toss well, making sure each piece is evenly covered.
  4. Spread the cauliflower out in a single layer on the tray, giving it space so it roasts rather than steams.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once during cooking, until tender, golden and caramelised around the edges.
  6. Transfer to a serving dish and scatter over the chopped nuts and fresh coriander.
