Cauliflower used to be my husband’s favorite vegetable, but I’m happy to say that now it’s my whole family’s favorite! It shows up on our dinner table as a side dish several times a week, and this sweet and nutty version is by far the kids’ favorite. They love the sweet and crunchy texture of the dish, and I love the pop of color along with the mixture of curry powder, mint, and hazelnuts.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F and place oven rack in middle position.
Line rimmed baking sheet with foil.
In a large bowl, combine oil, curry powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, then add cauliflower and toss.
Transfer mixture to prepared baking sheet, saving bowl for later.
Arrange cauliflower pieces cut-side down and roast until well browned (about 30 minutes).
While letting cauliflower cool, in a bowl combine mint with raisins, hazelnuts, and oil.
Drizzle mixture over roasted cauliflower and serve.
