Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
Seasonings and Dressing
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables.
- Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets and diced sweet potatoes. Add the olive oil, curry powder, salt, and pepper, then toss thoroughly to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Roast the Vegetables: Spread the coated cauliflower and sweet potato mixture evenly over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and beginning to crisp around the edges.
- Add Fresh Cilantro and Lemon: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once warm, gently mix in the chopped fresh cilantro and drizzle with the fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
- Serve: Serve the curry roasted cauliflower and sweet potato salad warm or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish or a satisfying light meal.
Notes
- The salad can be served warm immediately or allowed to cool to room temperature for a refreshing taste.
- For extra texture, sprinkle toasted nuts or seeds such as pumpkin seeds or almonds before serving.
- Adjust the curry powder amount to taste for a milder or more robust spice profile.
- Leftovers refrigerate well and can be enjoyed cold or reheated the next day.
