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

I especially love my cauliflower roasted. I had a head of cauliflower in my fridge that I was going to do another recipe with but decided to simply coat it with curry and sriracha, and roast it up to greatness.

It was fantastic on all accounts – taste, texture and color. I thought maybe it was going to be too spicy but it was perfect.

I actually sat and ate the whole thing to myself enjoying this as a mono meal. You can of course use this as a side dish along with some rice or quinoa too.

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

How To Store Leftovers

  • Refrigerator: Leftovers will keep 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.

  1. Why does this recipe show up under nightshade free? Both curry and sriracha are nightshades.
