Cauliflower roasted in the oven with fragrant middle eastern spices like tumeric, coriander and cumin taste is delicious.
It really smells great too. I served them with quinoa but you can used barley or couscous as well.
Do not overbake the cauliflower, it need to be "al dente".
This dish is a great idea for a meatfree dinner.
