Curry Roasted Rainbow Cauliflower and Radishes

Posted by Annie on October 15, 2020

I am here to introduce one of my very favorite side dishes ever.

Yes, I love carbs and will never turn down mashed potatoes, couscous or mac and cheese, but this dish has my heart in a way that few others do.

Cauliflower and radishes are my favorite vegetables anyway, but now that cauliflower seems to be in everything, it makes me like a bit of a bandwagon fan. I hate that.

I LIKED CAULIFLOWER BEFORE IT WAS COOL!

But seriously, I have been known to eat a whole head of cauliflower in one sitting without any sort of dip or dressing, and typing that sentence is making me realize that’s actually pretty gross.

Nevertheless, this is so delicious and beautiful that I find myself putting it on our menus several times a month. Plus the fact that I can have it from fridge to table in under thirty minutes means that I can just keep the ingredients on hand so that I can cook it up with some protein and have a super quick dinner on the table.

I can even trick Birdie into eating this – “Birdie, do you think that the purple tastes different from the green?” I’ll admit that it is a cheap trick, but it works.

Also, please don’t let yourself be turned off by the idea of curry. If you don’t regularly use it, please know that it isn’t “spicy” in the heat sense. It is completely packed with flavor and I’m convinced that it can save even the most bland dish from a dull, flavorless death.
