Alice of Hip Foodie Mom is our gracious host today for Sunday Supper and we are sharing recipes that require 5 ingredients or less!
Roasted broccoli or cauliflower that has been tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper are side dishes that frequently show up at our dinner table during the week. Easy and flavorful and always gobbled up by the kids. It proves that you don’t need a lot to put together a great meal. I wanted to put a spicy Indian spin on my roasted cauliflower. Now I was happy just eating a bowlful of this cauliflower with a scoop of steamed rice, but this is a great accompaniment to any meal that needs a kick!
Note: Salt, black pepper, and oil are freebies!

Indian-style Roasted Cauliflower #SundaySupper
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower about 2 pounds
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2-3 Tablespoons cooking oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Core the cauliflower and cut into bite-sized florets and place in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Add cooking oil onto the cauliflower and toss until the cauliflower is coated. Then add the spices and toss again until the cauliflower is evenly coated.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the cauliflower on the baking sheet. Spread the cauliflower out so that they are not piled on top of each other. When they are spread out, they cook more evenly.
- Roast for about 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned.

Yum! This sounds like something my family (kids included) would love! Thanks for the idea!
You are rather amazing, Amy. You get your kids to eat veggies without fuss. You are a skilled skater…And adept with spices! Thank you for the keeper recipe =)
Hmm, roasting it, I love what roasting does to broccoli so I might try it for cauliflower. Cauliflower is one of those veggies I am determined I will get myself to like. I grew it last year so we would have it fresh but just am not a fan no matter what I tried with it. But I love the spices you added to this so think I will give it a go again.
I’m always looking for new ways to serve cauliflower – this looks fabulously spicy!!!
Love the spices in this! I’m always looking for new flavors for roasting! Thanks for sharing!
I can only imagine how wonderful your cauliflower must taste. What a great idea and I am so loving all of the flavors.
Amy, I LOVE this!!! can’t wait to try this! I roast veggies all the time. . love all the spices here!
Oh, gosh, you’ve reminded me that I have a head of cauliflower in the back of the fridge! It will be roasted tonight!!! Thanks, Amy!
Oooo I love this! We roast cauliflower all the time but usually with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Can’t wait to try this Indian inspired version.
I love cauliflower. I don’t make it nearly as much as I need to!
Just think of all the other spices we can use to create many different versions of your roasted Cauliflower. Indian spices are a perfect combination.
I’m going to make this very, very soon! My husband just discovered that he actually LIKES roasted veggies and asked me to make some roasted cauliflower. He only asked that it have lots of flavor…and this fits the bill nicely!!!
I know that I would be entirely happy eating this AS my meal, too – sounds excellent Amy!
I love roasting cauliflower and it sounds even more wonderful with the addition of those spices, Kim!
Roasted cauliflower is one of my favorite dinners! I often just season with curry and a little turmeric.
Roasting cauliflower is so good, then add all those spices, divine!!
This is my preferred way to eat cauliflower, I can’t wait to try your spices out next time.
In my opinion, roasted is the only way to eat cauliflower. Great idea to put an Indian spice spin on it!
I love cauliflower with Indian spices! Your photos make it look so attractive, too.
I can almost smell the fragrant aroma on this! It looks sooo good!
Oooh – I make a similar roasted cauliflower at home and it is SO delicious! Love this dish…I want to try it with your combo of spices now!
Amy, I just LOVE this dish. Cauliflower is not seen very often at our table but I must change it with this delicious easy recipe. Perfect!
I’ve never had roasted cauliflower (gasp!). I am going to have to try your recipe because it sounds so good.
Some of my favorite seasonings on this cauliflower and I love the color that the turmeric brings!
We love cauliflower. We love Indian. We’ll definitely love this!
Mmm, everything I love in a bowl!
This is everything I love. The flavors, the veggies, the fact that it’s roasted… I want some right now! I will definitely be making this soon.
I just love all the spices you used in roasting the cauliflower.
Renee – Kudos KItchen
Roast cauliflower is a favorite – it brings out so many great flavors in cauliflower. Your spices are over the top!

I am a big fan of roasted cauliflower so I would really like to try this one, Indian style. 🙂
I never tried cauliflower this way. Sounds delicious!
YUM!! I am always looking for new tasty ways to get veggies in the family. This is perfect!
Love the spice combination on this cauliflower. Definitely something to try soon.
