Roasted Curried Cauliflower (oil-free, vegan)

Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower cut into medium pieces/florets
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Rinse and drain, but do not dry the cauliflower florets. The small amount of water clinging to the cauliflower will help the spices stick.
  • Spread cauliflower out in a single layer on baking tray. Sprinkle all the spices over the cauliflower, then stir with a spoon or spatula to coat.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, stopping to stir halfway through cooking. They are done when the cauliflower is fork tender and just starting to brown on the edges.*See Notes for heat and time adjustments, if using an air fryer or frozen cauliflower.

Notes

If using frozen cauliflower, increase temperature of oven to 425 F and check at 25 minutes.

If using air fryer, reduce temperature to 375 F and check at 20 minutes. It may take less or more time, depending on your machine.

Additional Optional Spices:

  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

Ingredients

1 can (794 g / 28 oz) diced tomatoes with liquid (or 2.5 cups freshly diced tomatoes + 1 cup water)
1 can (156 ml / 5.5 fl oz) tomato paste (or 2/3 cup)
1/2 diced onion
1/2 diced red pepper
1/2 diced green pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp Italian seasoning (or 1.5 tsp basil, 1.5 tsp oregano)
1/4 tsp black pepper and/or crushed red pepper flakes
optional: 1/2 tsp date syrup (or maple syrup-see note)

Directions

Mix all ingredients over medium-high heat on the stovetop for 5-10 minutes. The consistency will be quite thick; it will thin slightly as it simmers.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes (stirring occasionally).
Enjoy on top of your favourite pasta, grain, potatoes, or vegetables!

Notes

We like our veggies to be slightly crisp. If you prefer a softer texture, you can cook the onion and peppers for a few minutes first, before adding the remaining ingredients.

Sugar is often used in tomato-based sauces to balance the acidity. We don’t use any sweetener in our sauce, but you can add date syrup (or maple syrup) 1/2 tsp at a time to achieve desired flavour.
