"Curryflower"

Source

Ingredients:
1 medium head cauliflower
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon curry powder

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. 
2. Wash and core the cauliflower and cut the florets into bite-size pieces. Place in a large bowl. Toss the cauliflower with the olive oil, salt, and curry powder. 
3. Turn out the cauliflower onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 16-18 minutes, stirring every 6-7 minutes, until the cauliflower is browned in spots and is crisp-tender. Serve immediately

Notes: I got a lucious cauliflower in last week's bountiful basket and was looking for more healthy way to prepare it than the au gratin style that I was craving. I stumbled upon this recipe and, viola, one of the most delcious side dishes that I've ever eaten was born. I highly recommend serving immediately out of the oven as the recipe instructs because we took this to a potluck dinner with some friends and the pieces that I sampled before storing and transporting it for 45 minutes were infinitely better than what we ate at the table - the flavor was still wonderful, but the mouth-watering crispy texture was lost.
