What is turmeric?
Cauliflower is one of those versatile vegetables that takes the flavor of seasoning really well.
Turmeric is an Indian spice that adds strong flavors of curry and turmeric, and you get a healthy vegan side dish that is pretty enough for entertaining. It turns your recipes a vibrant yellow, which is part of the reason my kids were so intrigued by this recipe.
Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory and our family definitely needs any help it can get in this area. We always seem prone to sports and exercise strains. I am trying to create more turmeric recipes like this Cold Busting Turmeric Chicken Soup and this Turmeric Vinaigrette Dressing.
Cooking with turmeric has a big challenge for me. My kids took one look at the bright yellow cauliflower and laughed out loud. I am giving them kudos for not running away from the dinner table LOL.
My kids are pretty sweet about anything else. Vegetables just seem to fall into their own category with my kids. You can't believe how surprised I was when my kids not only tried but LIKED this turmeric roasted cauliflower recipe.
