Tomorrow is the Super Bowl and of course, as much as I absolutely LOVE all the regular yummy finger foods, I'm taking a new approach this year. I'm going to try and cook healthier options, but that still contain that "football food" taste. One of the things I'm going to try is Roasted Curried Cauliflower Recipe. I saw it on Pinterest and have heard from a couple of people who've tried it that it totally works! The recipe is below. I'll update to let you all know if it worked or not. I'd love to find something fun like that to trick my tastebuds.
Roasted Curried Cauliflower Recipe
Serves 2-4
Ingredients:
- 1 large cauliflower (or several small ones), ~2 lbs
- Curry powder
- Olive oil
- Kosher or sea salt
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Break cauliflower into medium-small florets and place into large bowl or baking pan. Be sure the pieces are as evenly sized as possible, or they will cook unevenly. The smaller you make the pieces, the quicker they will cook and the more caramelized they will become, which I consider a good thing.
Drizzle cauliflower pieces generously with olive oil and season well with salt and curry powder. Distribute evenly in a single layer at the bottom of a baking pan. If necessary, use a second baking pan to be sure the pieces aren’t too crowded.
Cover the pans with foil and place into the oven. Roast, covered for 10-15 minutes. The cauliflower should be slightly soft and start looking translucent. If not replace foil and cook another 5 minutes.
When the cauliflower has finished steaming, remove the foil and toss with tongs. Continue to roast, stirring every 8-10 minutes until the tips of the cauliflower begin to brown and become crisp as pictured. Approximately 30-35 minutes.
Adjust salt to taste (you will probably need another sprinkle) and serve.
