Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 small yellow onion
• 3 medium garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and rinse well under cold water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

Chop the onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and ginger.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, chopped onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Add cumin, coriander, turmeric, curry powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Add the cauliflower florets to the mixing bowl with the spice mixture. Gently toss to coat the cauliflower evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 7

Transfer the coated cauliflower to a large baking sheet, spreading it out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

Step 8

Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cauliflower is tender.

Step 9

Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss to combine.

Step 10

Transfer the curried cauliflower to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy it as a main vegan option.
