Roasted Cauliflower
The BEST seasoned roasted cauliflower! Amazingly crisp-tender, golden-brown and the most perfect side dish to any meal!
This has been my go-to side dish for months now. It uses just a few pantry spices – coriander, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper – so the prep time is incredibly short here. And the blend of spices is absolutely incredible.
Not to mention the finishing touches of the red onion slices, parsley, mint and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
It is simply perfect, complementing all your favorite mains. I particularly like to pair this with my IP rotisserie chicken for a complete meal, and a glass of wine of course to round it all out.

Fresh, tasty, easy to make and delicious! The mint, onions and parsley toppings take it to a new level. A spritz of fresh lemon juice livened it up too!
I love so many of your recipes, thank you!!!
My entire family loved this! The onion and mint complement the seasonings really well. I forgot about the lemon, but the cauliflower was delicious without it. I’m glad to have a great way to use fresh mint, since it’s trying to take over our whole garden.
My 5 year old crushed this and asked for more
OMG. This is incredible. I had hoped to save some for Mondays lunch but there wasn’t a bit left. No mint so used cilantro. Great!!!!!
Dang! These were delicious! A Costco-sized bag of cauliflower disappeared, and we usually have leftover veggies. These will definitely be made again.
Love it! Only did 1t of the Coriander though. The entire family was so happy!
The cauliflower was so delicious and my girlfriend was so excited! Thanks for the great recipe.
It’s very delicious. I ate almost all of it in one seating. Even though I like coriander I feel that it’s the most prominent taste in that recipe that covers all other tastes
Delicious combo of spices! We made it in a basket on the grill which gave it a delicious char. Also used cilantro and yellow raisins in place of parsley, onions and mint.
This was so good. My husband & I ate the whole sheet pan full. Perfect seasonings.
My non-cauliflower family loved, loved , loved this. Easy and delicious.
I made this tonight, it was so delicious! I literally couldn’t just eat the vegetables and no other protien side. I roasted mushrooms along with and it was so good. Its a keeper.
We loved this – great flavor! Didn’t have any mint on hand so I could not follow the recipe exactly. Next time I will reduce the cooking time a bit so the cauliflower isn’t quite as soft.
Great flavor and i loved the accents of the mint, parsley and onion! Served with turmeric chicken, mujadara (lebanese lentils and rice), and a cucumber raita – it was a perfect contrast and went great with the yogurt sauce. My pieces were a bit smaller so I reduced the cooking time by 5 mins. I would either reduce it a few more minutes or cut larger pieces.
I’ve never liked cauliflower – until now! So easy and delicious! Thank you for making it a LOT easier for my family to eat our veggies. 🙂
Healthier than eating Chips!
