Ingredients
  

  • 1 head of cauliflower washed, dried and cut into florets**
  • 1/2 small red onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 1/2 tablespoon fennel seed
  • 1/2 tablespoon cumin seed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 - 1 tablespoon garam masala depending on spice preference
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon grated ginger preferably fresh
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas defrosted
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • juice of half a lemon

Method
 

  1. Preheat over to 425* - if you have a convection oven with a Roast option, preheat on Roast to 425*
  2. Prepare a large baking pan by lightly coating it with olive oil (for easy clean up, cover with aluminum foil first, then lightly coat with olive oil)
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets and diced red onion
  4. Whisk together the melted coconut oil, spices, grated ginger and garlic
  5. Pour half of the oil and spice mixture over the cauliflower and onions and stir well
  6. Once combined, add the remaining oil and spice mixture, tossing to coat
  7. Pour cauliflower onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a single layer
  8. Roast for 25 minutes, tossing every 10 until lightly golden
  9. Remove from oven, add in the peas, cilantro and drizzle on the lemon juice before serving.

Notes

**If you're using frozen cauliflower, simply microwave to defrost before adding to the oil & spice mixture. If you'd like to add in potatoes, simply dice the potatoes into half inch pieces. Cook the cauliflower and potato mixture for an additional 5-10 minutes until potatoes are cooked through.
