Two nutrition dynamos in one! Cauliflower, a cruciferous vegetable known for its many health benefits, is paired with turmeric, renowned for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which adds not only a vibrant yellow hue but also a rich depth of flavor.

Serves 4 as a side dish, 2 as an entrée.

Ingredients:

1½ pounds of cauliflower florets

1 tablespoon ground turmeric

2 teaspoons curry powder

½ teaspoon garam masala

¼ teaspoon pepper

1-2 tablespoons lime juice

Lime wedges for garnish, optional

Tahini Drizzle (recipe below)

Cilantro for garnish, optional

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Rinse the cauliflower florets so the spices can easily adhere. Place the florets in a large bowl, sprinkle the spices over them, and work the spices into each one.
3. Spread the cauliflower out in a single layer on baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking. They are done when the cauliflower is fork-tender and just starting to brown on the edges.
4. Arrange cauliflower on serving plates. Pour Tahini Drizzle on top and sprinkle with lime juice.
5. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
