A Bold, Fiery Cauliflower Dish That Makes Mealtime Seriously Exciting
Spicy roasted cauliflower cuts are one of those dishes that look fancy but take almost no effort. A whole head of cauliflower gets rubbed down in warming berbere spice, roasted at high heat and transformed into tender, smoky slabs with crispy edges and bold flavor.
This simple method turns a humble veggie into something you could serve as a side, a main or even the star of your next dinner spread. Slice it crosswise, drizzle with your favorite sauce and watch it disappear. It is fast, customizable and perfect for adding a little kick to your weeknight routine.
Serve it straight out of the oven or pair with grains, greens or a cooling yogurt style sauce for balance. However you plate it, this is one spicy veggie moment worth repeating.
