I will eat an entire bowl of this for dinner. Period. I need nothing else to make me happy. Though, if there is a side of rice I won’t be upset! This cauliflower is so delicious and easy to make. It requires some warm, earthy spices and a good amount of olive oil. I like to serve it on a bed of tart cool yogurt and love to garnish it with lots of sliced almonds, some sweet golden raisins and a nice sprinkling of fresh Italian parsley.

It’s a simple dinner idea that comes together so quickly and deliciously. Serve it with rice or with the protein of your choice. Or simply eat it as is. If it’s going to be the main star, yes, of course you need to eat a lot of it to be full. But that’s not such a bad thing.

Roasted Cauliflower with Yogurt
