Tired of the same old, same old cauliflower? Here’s a roasted, spicy version of this otherwise boring vegetable.

Prep time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1 cauliflower head
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon dried, red chili pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves
2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. Cut cauliflower into florets measuring about 2 inches each. Set aside.

3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the cumin, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and chili pepper flakes; set aside.

4. Place cauliflower in a 4-quart saucepot; cover with cold water.

5. Bring cauliflower to a boil; boil 2 minutes.

6. Drain cauliflower.

7. Coat each cauliflower floret with the cumin-oil dressing.

8. Place cauliflower florets on a baking sheet and roast in oven for about 20 minutes.

9. After 20 minutes, remove cauliflower from baking sheet and transfer to a serving bowl.
