Red Curry Roasted Cauliflower

Total time:
1+ hour

Roasted veggies are having a moment, and this Thai-inspired roasted red curry cauliflower takes the trend to the next level! I love this dish because it cuts down on the calories and fat found in most popular appetizers without sacrificing any of the flavor. Add fresh herbs on top for bright flavors that will counter the spiciness of the curry marinade. For a vegan-friendly version, read the ingredients label on your red curry paste and make sure it doesn’t contain shrimp paste.
