Ingredients
Scale
- ½ teaspoon cayenne
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 tablespoon turmeric
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 1 head of cauliflower, cored and cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 cup cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
- ½ cup mint leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1 shallot, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 clove of garlic
- ½ jalapeño, seeded and roughly chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons cool water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1½ tablespoons pomegranate molasses
- ¼ cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450° F. Place a sheet pan into the oven to preheat.
- Make the curry spice rub: add the cayenne, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, paprika, coriander, ground ginger, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
- Place the cauliflower in a bowl, drizzle with avocado oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the curry spice rub. Toss the cauliflower until thoroughly coated with the spice mixture.
- Remove sheet pan from oven and carefully add the cauliflower to the hot sheet pan, spreading the florets out into a single layer, and roast until florets are golden brown and firm but tender and caramelized in spots, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Make the cilantro-mint chutney: add the cilantro, mint, shallot, ginger, garlic, jalapeño, half of the lime juice, and honey to a food processor, season with salt and pepper, and pulse to a paste. Add water, pulse to combine, and set aside.
- Make the pomegranate yogurt: to another small bowl, add the Greek yogurt, the remaining lime juice, the pomegranate molasses, season with salt and pepper, and swirl to combine.
- To finish, spread some of the pomegranate yogurt on the bottom of a large platter or plate, top with the roasted cauliflower. Spoon some chutney on the side and garnish with some pomegranate seeds and additional cilantro and mint if desired.
