Ingredients needed
Cauliflower – Either chop the cauliflower head into florets yourself or save some time by buying pre-cut florets. Frozen cauliflower florets will also work. Simply mix the frozen cauliflower with the other ingredients and roast.
Olive oil – For oil free roasted cauliflower, omit the olive oil entirely.
Curry powder – Pre-mixed curry powder is usually made with a blend of ground turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, chili powder, black pepper, fenugreek, fennel, and more. It’s easy to find at most major grocery stores. For added warmth, add a sprinkle of garam masala or cinnamon to the curried cauliflower.
Salt and pepper
Lemon juice – Freshly squeezed is best!
Sauce. It’s made of vegan mayonaise, whole grain mustard (substitute for dijon if you prefer), lemon juice, curry powder and some paprika.
