Can You Curry Up Please?

As someone who doesn't particularly enjoy spending hours in the kitchen, I appreciate food that takes minimal prep/cook time and still tastes incredible.  A few weeks ago, I was craving my favorite dish (roasted curry cauliflower) from my favorite restaurant (Rabbit Hole) in Colorado Springs.  Now, seeing as I am 1,903 miles away from my favorite spot, ordering out was not an option, so I decided to turn to Pinterest to see if I could find an imitation recipe.  I found a couple and decided to experiment a little, to my amazement, it turned out AMAZINGLY!  This is one of my new favorite recipes and it only takes about ten minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to cook.  Gotta love that right?  The other great thing about this recipe is that it costs next to nothing!  

The recipe below is enough to serve one hungry intern for dinner.  If you want to make it as a side, or an appetizer for more than one person, I'd use a whole head of cauliflower, but it tastes best fresh out of the oven so I try not to have left overs.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 head cauliflower 
• garlic (use as much as you want, I LOVE garlic so I use about 6 - 7 cloves)
• 3 - 4 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 3/4 tsp. curry powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Chop cauliflower into bite-sized florets, peel garlic and cut larger cloves in half and place in a medium bowl.
• Mix olive oil, cumin, curry powder, and salt in a bowl and pour over cauliflower & garlic; mix until cauliflower florets and garlic are evenly coated.
• Place cauliflower/garlic on a baking sheet (try to have a single layer so that it cooks evenly).
• Bake for 15 minutes, remove, flip cauliflower, and bake for another 15 - 20 minutes until cauliflower is tender (be careful not to overcook, the garlic should be tender, not crispy).
• Remove from oven and serve immediately.

And it's as simple as that!  It will probably take you longer to read this post than it will to actually prepare this savory treat.  Another plus, it's SUPER healthy, I mean what's in it?  Cauliflower and garlic.  Boom, roasted (see what I did there?).  Hope you enjoy!
