Roasted Turmeric Cauliflower

This recipe is a weekly favourite in our house.  It is an easy way of getting in some anti-inflammatory turmeric into our meals AND some cruciferous vegetables that are high in I3C (indole-3-carbinol) to help with estrogen metabolism!  Did you know that black pepper helps increase turmeric activity and absorption?

1 head of cauliflower

1 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp sea salt or Herbamare to taste

1/4 tsp black pepper

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or more if really big head of cauliflower!)

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  

2.  Chop cauliflower into roughly 1-inch pieces, don't forget to include the hard stem parts or save these parts for a pureed cauliflower soup.

3. Place on baking sheet and add the rest of the ingredients to thoroughly coat.

4. Bake for 30-40 minutes and then enjoy!

I mentioned this recipe on an instagram story recently and someone messaged me about their favourite cauliflower combination using za'atar (Middle Eastern combo of herbs and spices) and lemon juice! I will definitely try this next and see if my crew will like the flavour.
