Description
Flavorful and Easy Vegan Tandoori Cauliflower: A Healthy and Tasty Twist on a Classic Dish
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium cauliflower head (cut into florets)
- 1 cup plain dairy-free yogurt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Begin by cutting your cauliflower into florets, making sure they’re all roughly the same size for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the marinade and toss them thoroughly, ensuring each piece is coated. If you have time, cover the bowl and let the cauliflower marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the marinated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the sheet. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Once your Tandoori Cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves and lemon wedges on the side.
