Along with baked potato fries, baked cauliflower/ oven roasted cauliflower is something that I make often. I make this when I am pressed for time and need a quick side dish for dinner. Quite frankly this does not require much baby sitting. All that is required is to chop the cauliflower into florets, season it and then bake it in the oven.
We usually have this as a side item along with yogurt rice or daal rice. The kiddo likes this very much and so I pack some for him for his school lunch.
Note: You can substitute any seasoning of your choice. Replace turmeric with basil/thyme/oregano etc, you can also add onion powder, garlic powder etc and so use your imagination 🙂 This is not dry, but crispy on the edges and soft in the inside.

Ingredients:
Serves: 3-4
- 1 medium cauliflower
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric (substitute with onion powder/garlic powder/basil/thyme…..your choice)
- salt to taste
- 2-3 Tbsp oil
Method:
1) Pre-heat oven to 400 F.
2) Chop the cauliflower into florets and then wash and pat dry them. Make sure there is no water left.
3) In a bowl, mix the florets along with oil, turmeric (any seasoning of choice), chilli powder and salt.
4) Grease a baking sheet and then spread the coated cauliflower evenly on the sheet.
5) Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing it around every 10 minutes until the outside is slightly browned.
My fav….have tried this in grill mode too…It works very fine try it once and see.
It looks like a Aloo-gobi. Love the crispy and golden brown color on top.
Thanks for trying the recipe and for the mention Supriya. My son loves it too. Nowadays its the only way he eats cauliflower.
I’ve made this so many times and my family loves it too!

wow wonderful tried this oven roasted cauliflower ……………….
I have roasted almost all veggies except cauliflower! Should try this…
Simple and beautiful – and just so satisfying to eat!
This looks simple and yum…will try it! I recently made another oven roasted cauliflower recipe which is done with lots of cardamom, by Suvir Saran of NY’s Devi restaurant. Let me know if you’d like to have the recipe…it was wonderful!
Why do I have a craving for cauliflowers after reading this very tempting recipe?
Crispy and healthy, love the golden brown color on top. Your recipe and pic looks great. I do this manually without oven. This one is favorite at my house
Nice idea roasting the cauliflower in the oven. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
I’ve invited the family to ours this xmas for a big dinner, so the roast is pretty important! I found a bunch of recipes at this roast recipe site, but cant decide on anyone in particular – there’s too many to choose from! It’s fun planning such a big christmas meal though!
I’ll be making this tonight… but I don’t have tumeric, and it only came in a 400g bag at the store. Wayyy too much for my needs, haha!
Update – made it using chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper, with grapeseed oil. Freaking unbelievable! I didn’t think I even liked cauliflower… Thanks for a great recipe!
What a combination, sounds wonderful. Thanks for trying and glad you liked it!
Yum this was so delicious!
Be careful because the tumeric (though very healthy) will stain your baking sheet yellow. Use parchment paper to prevent the staining.
Hi!
Great recipe! Just 2 questions : 1. Do you place the rack in the middle?
2. Can i make this a day ahead andwarm it up before serving?
Thanks and best wishes!
