There was a time I didn’t care for cauliflower, but times have changed. Cauliflower is amazing, and this flavorful Curry + Sriracha Roasted Cauliflower is the best!

The first time I made roasted cauliflower, I was obsessed! Then came the love of curry and sriracha, and together it’s a perfect combination.

It’s fantastic on all accounts – taste, texture and color. I thought it might be too spicy, but it was perfect!

I sat and ate the whole thing to myself enjoying this as a mono meal. Of course, you can serve this as a side dish along with some rice or quinoa.

I absolutely enjoy this dish and make it often. Sriracha makes everything better – well almost. Get your sriracha on!

Ingredient Notes

In this recipe, cauliflower is tossed with warming and spicy flavors and roasted until tender and lightly caramelized for a flavorful side dish.

Here is everything you will need:

  • Cauliflower – Use pre-cut for ease.
  • Curry powder – We used yellow curry, but you can also use red.
  • Sriracha – I love and use Huy Fong with the unmistakable green top
  • Sesame oil – Use regular or dark (toasted). Feel free to use your favorite oil if you prefer.
  • Mineral salt – We love Himalayan pink salt, but sea salt or your favorite salt will work.

  • Place on the center rack of a preheated oven set at 425 degrees for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.

There you have it, a wonderfully flavored side that can also be served as a meal!

How To Store Leftovers

  • Refrigerator: Leftovers can be kept for 5 – 6 days in the refrigerator, stored in a covered container.
  • Freezer: Roasted cauliflower is freezer-friendly and can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 –  3 months using freezer-safe containers or baggies.
  • Reheat: Warm on the stovetop over low heat until warmed through, you may need to add a little water so it doesn’t stick to the pan. Alternatively, reheat in the microwave using 30 – 60 second intervals, stirring after each, until warm.
