Roasted Cauliflower Recipe

About this recipe of Roasted Cauliflower

This roasted cauliflower recipe is from Josceline and the youngest contributor on this blog so far, her 4-year-old daugher, Emily. Josceline is a major cooking enthusiast and a lot of her Facebook updates are about the mouth-watering food she prepares. I always end up drooling looking at the food and admiring the loving effort she puts in making it. It is also endearing to see that Emily is getting more and more involved in cooking with Josceline.

Coming back to this roasted cauliflower recipe, Josceline said she and Emily cut the cauliflower together. And then Emily arranges it in a tray and shakes the seasonings on top. So don’t be surprised if you see Emily taking part in MasterChef Junior soon. :-)

I usually tend to remember citric fruits like oranges and lemons as being a good source of vitamin C. But there are plenty of non-citrus-fruits and vegetables that provide more vitamin C than the citrus fruits. Fruits like kiwi and strawberry, and vegetables like cauliflower and cabbage are a rich in vitamin C.

So if you are looking for a recipe that’s vitamin-C rich, low on fat content, and super simple to boot try this roasted cauliflower recipe by Josceline and Emily.

The color added by purple cauliflower makes the dish look very exotic. But if you can’t lay your hands on the colored cauliflower, just go ahead and use the regular one. The turmeric powder and asafoetida used in seasoning make this recipe uncommon, giving it a nice Indian touch. Enjoy the recipe. :-)
