This recipe for ginger curry roasted cauliflower is bursting with flavor and always seems to disappear in a flash! It’s a nutritious and delicious side dish that’s always a crowd pleaser.  

Easy Roasted Curry Ginger Cauliflower

Don’t you love it when a simple side dish steps up to the plate and unexpectedly steals the show at dinner?

Last night Ryan and I made buffalo chicken burgers for dinner and while they were quite tasty, this ridiculously easy side dish was the highlight of our meal.

I’ve been making roasted cauliflower with curry powder for ages, but the simple addition of ginger really kicked up the flavor and had me immediately wishing I made a double batch. The cauliflower disappeared in a flash!

Description

This recipe for ginger curry roasted cauliflower is bursting with flavor and always seems to disappear in a flash! It’s a nutritious and delicious side dish that’s always a crowd pleaser.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Toss everything together in a bowl and pour onto a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray
  3. Roast in the oven for 25 – 30 minutes

Though the head of cauliflower I chopped up wasn’t too big, Ryan and I had no problem polishing off the entire thing between the two of us. We loved this dish and were really hungry, but I’d say that under normal circumstances the recipe would likely yield four side-dish servings.

Breakfast

This morning I awoke in a pancake mood!

I made a batch of almond butter pancakes topped with shaved coconut and a bit of syrup.

Plus some extra-foamy coffee on the side!

Aero Latte Foam

Yesterday I rediscovered my Aero Latte milk frother and, as I said on Instagram, felt awfully fancy as I sipped a cup of frothy coffee at my desk. Naturally I had to repeat the fun this morning!

A little extra foam makes a normal cup of coffee feel extra special. It’s the little things!

    I like cauliflower but rarely buy it cause I hate cutting it up, same as broccoli, weird, right?! I must try this recipe though!
    I agree, it is the little things and that form on your am coffee makes it so much better 🙂 Love my foam too.

      i’m not sure whether or not your grocery store sells them, but eat smart makes packets of pre-chopped cauliflower and broccoli! they’re often BOGO at the publix near me!

    I love foamy coffee! Correction: I love foam, not coffee. I will seriously order coffee drinks, ask to have them extra extra foamy, and only “drink” the foam. The coffee at the bottom remains untouched. I wonder how a barista would respond if I just ordered foam. 😉

            Haha, that’s exactly what I order! It’s all in an effort to not look like a complete goober to the barista. But let’s face it, I’m not fooling anyone – certainly not them. Lol. Thanks for your expert input on the matter. 😉 I’m glad to know that it’s at least fun to make the foam! 😀

      Apparently in Australia they make the foam especially for the little children! You can have flavourings added to it and everything! I think they are called babyccinos. 🙂

    Such a simple post and yet I love everything about it! I love roasted cauliflower but it’s been way too long since I’ve had them. And since I love ginger I’m all over this.

    Almond butter pancakes – SOOOO good. I also use coconut flour and oat flour (steel cut oats ground into a flour). Pancakes every weekend!

    Frothy milk – YES PLEASE! I just bought my bf a milk frother and you better believe I’ve become a milk frothing fiend.

    Happy Friday!

    Curry cauliflowerk? Sounds amazing! I often roast mine with feta cheese powder from the Winter Park Tea and Spice exchange.

        Coat the Cauliflower in olive oil, sprinkle on as much cheese as you’d like, and bake as normal! I also do this with Broccoli and Cheddar cheese powder. Add a little of their Sunshine seasoning for an extra flavor kick too!

    Also, Julie, I sent you an email a few weeks ago about a giveaway I’d like to send in. I have been anxiously awaiting a reply back and I just wanted to let you know- maybe it went in your spam or something. I also recently sent it to your fb account just in case 🙂 Thanks!

    Hi Julie,

    Just wanted to let you know you were a HUGE inspiration for me to start writing my own blog about running 1000 miles this year. I always wanted to start a blog but didn’t have a good idea for one..I knew I wanted it to be fitness related but not a copy cat of yours. I read yours daily and hope you’ll be interested in checking out mine 🙂

    That milk frother sounds like a winner! Mine from World Market broke on me 🙁 But it WAS only like, $3 lol. And I love veggies like cauli, broccoli, and chewy fibrous ones because they’re so tasty and best of all, hearty! It’s almost like the main dish sometimes in my opinion. I think recipes like yours def. allow more people to be adventurous with vegetables.
