Roasted Orange Cauliflower Recipe

Roasted cauliflower is delicious. Roasted orange cauliflower is even better. I found some beautiful organic orange cauliflower at the farmer’s market the other day and I was just dying to make something with it.  I have had a hankering for roasted cauliflower lately, so I came up with this recipe.  The hint of flavor comes from a pinch of cumin and a squeeze of lemon.  My friend Alecio said it reminded him of an Indian-style Ghobi dish. I bet this would be yummy with a little cheese on top also.  If you can’t find orange cauliflower this would still taste great with regular white cauliflower.

  • This was so delicious! I googled ‘orange cauliflower’ and this was one of the first links that came up. I omitted the cumin because I didn’t think it would match the flavors in the rub I used on the pork tenderloin that I served it with, and it was amazing nonetheless. I can’t imagine cooking cauliflower any other way. My husband loved it too – I swear he ate half of it right out of the baking dish before it even made it to the table.

    Great site! Thanks for the fantastic ideas.

  • Great recipe! Even my toddlers loved it. I added some onion to it and omitted the cumin (since we served it with ribs) and it was fabulous. Thanks for the recipe.
