Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower with Feta Sauce

April 9, 2019 by Tonja Leave a Comment

Roasted cauliflower is an obsession of mine.  It’s so versatile—has so many possibilities.  This recipe is also shockingly easy, beyond healthy, and SO addictive.  My version here includes turmeric and cumin then finishes on a smooth, creamy, tangy feta spread.  Oh yah–you need to make this soon.  It’s full of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins.   This is the kryptonite side dish you’ve been searching for.
