Garam Masala Roasted Cauliflower

This dish transforms humble cauliflower into a show-stopping centerpiece. The warm, complex spices of garam masala caramelize beautifully at high heat.

Ingredients

1 large cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tablespoons garam masala
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
Salt to taste
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss cauliflower with oil, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast 25-30 minutes, turning once, until deeply golden and crispy at edges. Serve with yogurt sauce and cilantro.

Yogurt Sauce

Mix Greek yogurt with 1 minced garlic clove, a squeeze of lemon, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. The cool tanginess balances the warm spices perfectly.
