roasted cauliflower

16 years ago

I don't have any turmeric any other substitutions? I am having an anniversary dinner tonight and am completely snowed in so I can't get out to get some. Thanks.

I just roast it with olive oil, salt and pepper. I don't think it really needs anything else.

My son says it's almost like eating deep fried cauliflower.

Oven Roasting cauliflower?

Comments (13)
I love cauliflower in any form, but roasted is one of my favorites, too! Roasted Cauliflower with Fresh Herbs and Parmesan 12c cauliflower florets (about 2 heads) 1-1/2 T olive oil 1T chopped fresh parsley 2Tsp chopped fresh thyme 2tsp chopped fresh tarragon 3 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 c grated parmesan cheese 2T fresh lemon juice 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper Preheat oven to 450F Place cauliflower in large roasting pan or jelly roll pan. Drizzle with oil, toss well to coat. Bake at 450 for 20 minutes or until tender and browned, stirring every 5 minutes. Sprinkle with herbs and garlic, bake 5 minutes. Combine cauliflower mixture, cheese and remaining ingredients in large bowl, toss well to combine. Yield: 8 servings, about 1 cup each And Carrots are another that roasts well. This recipe is exceptionally good. I actually cut the carrots in half, then quarter them lengthwise. For me they take less time to brown than stated, too so watch them carefully. ROASTED CARROTS W/ THYME AND GARLIC GW-posted by Rosemarythyme 11-06 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil 2 1/2 lb large carrots, halved lengthwise diagonally 1 TBSP unsalted butter 1 ( 2 - 3 inch) head of garlic, cloves separated but left unpeeled 3 sprigs fresh thyme 1/4 tsp Maldon sea salt 1/8 tsp black pepper 1/2 c water Put over rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil in heavy ovenproof skillet over moderately high heat until very hot and just beginning to smoke, then add half of carrots, cut sides down, and cook, undisturbed, until they begin to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Brown remaining carrots in same manner but leave in skillet. Add butter and stir once, then return carrots on plate to skillet. Continue to cook over mod high heat, turning frequently until carrots are golden brown on edges, about 5 minutes more. Add garlic, thyme, sea salt, pepper and water and cover skillet tightly with foil. Roast in oven until carrots are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue roasting, turning over carrots with tongs occasionally until edges are slightly crisp, 10 to 15 minutes more. Linda

How important is it to keep the same flavor profiles in a meal?

You had quite a challenge and met it well. I like the buffet style and who cares if people only go monochrome. Maybe they like it that way. People tease Scandinavians about all the white food. No big deal to me. I'm not sure I'd have the patience to deal with all the dietary issues. I might send invitations on a paper bag and say bring your own! :) I've got a cousin who has her own cooking challenges. Let's see, she cooks for: -A granddaughter "vegetarian", who won't eat vegetables -Husband who's is a hypochondriac and lately is a wannabe Celiac. (And is nearly televangelistic in preaching to anyone who will listen that everyone is Celiac and doesn't know it.) This "Celiac" btw frequents pizza buffets and White Castle. Yep, that's gluten intolerant! -A friend who's on the Atkin's diet. -Parents who were "meat & potatoes only" people. Don't add any of that salt & pepper... don't like things spicy! -Daughter who is a serious diabetic. Anyone care to plan & cook that one? :)

Will this recipe freeze well?

I have a potato cream soup that I occasionally freeze. Similar to what Dave said, the potatoes get a slight different texture, and if it's in too long, the sour cream and milk separate a bit too. Was still good, and we just tried to eat within a couple months. After three, the separatation got worse. I think yours will be similar. Sounds good!

I know it's not good to boast, but I am a soup goddess! Last night it was "Northern Italian Style Minestrone." Fried up some uncured bacon and set aside. (just 3 pieces). Dumped out all the grease and then added a little olive oil to the pan. Sauteed the following vegetables that had been languishing in the fridge: red onion, celery, green pepper, red potatoes and shitake mushrooms. Also added a large carrot and glop of minced garlic. De-glazed the pan with some red wine that we didn't like much by the glass. Covered it all with vegetable broth and let the potatoes simmer for a while. Cooked some beluga lentils and added those, and also added a can of red beans (closest I had to "Roman" beans). Towards the end, added a half a jar of home canned tomato basil sauce and a small opened can of V-8 juice. Plus 1/4 of a head of cabbage. Added the bacon back in and a liberal shake of Italian seasonings over the top. Simmered for about 1/2 hour. Today will be served over some stellini pasta that has been sitting around too long, and topped with parmesean. Unfortunately, I now have a HUGE pot of soup, and with just me eating it, I will be having it for lunch or dinner for probably the next ten days! Not sure how much I will love it by then!

I agree, it doesn't need anything else. I roasted some this week and 3 1/2 yr. old DGS loved it.

If you have smoked paprika, cumin and thyme, I thought that was a winning combo from Lee (LSR2002) over roasted cauliflower.

That being said I roasted some plain yesterday, just EVOO, S&P, and it was delish.

Please tell me, someone, what oven temperature and for how long do you roast cauliflower?

Many thanks.

You roast it at whatever temp the rest of your dinner is cooking, until it looks done!

Just kidding really, but there is a bit of wiggle room with it. Ideally, 400F for 20-25 mins, flipping at least once would work.

haus proud, if you are doing the popcorn cauliflower the temp is 450Â° for 35 minutes, tossing occasionally.

This was so good! Instead of turmeric I used a dash of curry powder. Will definitely make again. I'm even going to grow cauliflower this year (if my garden ever gets uncovered - SO MUCH SNOW). Thanks to the original poster. Ack, just did a search and can't find it now, I hope I wrote it down there was garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, S&P and turmeric but I used curry and maybe something else.

Here is the original recipe posted by AM. I omitted the sugar after using it the first time I made it. To me it was too sweet for my taste. This is now my favorite way to prepare cauliflower!

2 heads cauliflower
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp turmeric
6-8 Tbl lve oil

Cut the cauliflower into small florets, toss the stems. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and toss the cauliflower to coat it. Put the cauliflower in a single layer on a lined pan and Roast at 450 for about 35 minutes, tossing occasionally.

Well, this is timely! I bought a huge head of cauliflower at Wegmans Saturday and was looking for some ideas. Wanted to try the mashed califlower, too. Thanks!
