I had heard a lot about roasted cauliflower and how good it was. I had even heard it compared with popcorn. (Perhaps that is because it looks a little like popcorn. I had always just chalked it up as a way to try to get kids to eat healthier.) When I made my roasted cauliflower and red pepper soup I made sure to try some of the roasted cauliflower and it was pretty good. Good enough to get another head of cauliflower and roast it up to snack on. I enjoyed it by itself but I imagine that it would be good with dukkah or curry powder, or even dipped in hummus.

March 31, 2008 at 3:50 pmHi Kevin– My,this looks so good! and your idea to dip it in curry reminded my of a favorite cauliflower recipe from Madhur Jaffrey’s Indian Cooking (1982): Phool gobi aur aloo ki bhaji (Cauliflower with potatoes), which she says is a “comforting ‘homey’ dish that most north Indians enjoy.” I can see why.
Only about three months until I’ll have some fresh cauliflower from my garden! Talk about delayed gratification.

March 31, 2008 at 6:34 pmThey look beautiful. Roasted cauliflower is one of my FAVOURITE things. There was a time earlier on this year where nearly every single dinner I blogged about featured roasted cauli on the side…I love it in a salad, with roasted parsnips, capers, rocket(or arugula as you might call it) and cherry tomatoes.
