Curry Cauliflower (Crispy Roasted)
Curry cauliflower is the side that disappears before the main — roasted until the edges char and crisp, then glowing golden with warm curry spice. It's a vegan side, a bowl topper, or a snack you eat straight off the pan. The flavor is one curry blend.
This uses Curry Crack — turmeric, cumin, and chili — for that golden color and warm depth.
Why it's a keeper
- One sheet pan, hands-off.
- One seasoning = golden, warm flavor.
- Vegan and versatile — side, main, or snack.
