A Recipe for Spicy Roasted Cauliflower and almonds

As it’s National Vegetarian Week, I thought I would share my new recipe for spicy roasted cauliflower with almonds.

*

I’m always looking for new ways to serve vegetables and this spicy roasted cauliflower is a new firm favourite.  The humble cauliflower had never been the most exciting vegetable but the spices and roasting in coconut oil totally raise its game!  Throw in some almonds to the roasting process and you have a totally delicious vegetable dish.

I am finding myself eating this on a regular basis.  Leave out the almonds if you are calorie counting but I urge you to try them as they add a lovely crunchy texture.

This is really easy to prepare.  All you need is the following:

Ingredients

• Coconut oil (I used Vita Coco)
• Cauliflower (leaves removed and cut into stalks)
• Turmeric

Instructions

• Toss the cauliflower florets and almonds in the oil
