Sweet and Spicy Roasted Cauliflower
Sweet and spicy roasted cauliflower is an easy side dish that everyone will love.
Sweet & Spicy Roasted Cauliflower is delicious and simple.
If your kids don’t like cauliflower as much as you, try roasting it. They’ll easily eat an entire head of cauliflower when it’s prepared this way.
An easy, family-friendly recipe.
This recipe is a new favourite at Crosby’s. Serve it alongside pork chops with molasses cider glaze and sauteed apples. (A little cranberry sauce on the side would be extra delicious.)

Hi Bridget,
I just love cauliflower and sometimes I buy it frozen, already cut in florets. Do you think I could use frozen cauliflower instead of fresh in this recipe? Thanks Bridget.
Denise.

Hi Denise, I haven’t had much luck roasting frozen cauliflower. (It usually ends up a little soggy.) You can still make this recipe with frozen cauliflower but it might not get crispy. Still, the flavour will be great.

Hi there;
I made this recipe, as well as the Cranberry Sauce with Apples and the Roasted Roots Vegetables in Squash. They were all a hit; there was only a very small piece of cauliflower left for me to try.
Thanks for compiling a great list of recipes for Thanksgiving. It made the job of finding new things to make much easier.

I also do cauliflower – boil it whole. Mix a paste of mustard any kind and 2 Tbsp. fat free mayo. Roast and it delicious. I will try this one. Sound awesome.

I made this for supper this evening. I used a seasoning salt we like with the oil and molasses mixture. I will definitely make this again!
Bridget
Hi Joy,
Great to know the recipe is so adaptable. The seasoning possibilities are endless…

I can’t wait to try this. I hope my four year old will go for it. Thanks!

Hi Brandi,
Good luck. You can mix up the spices too if that helps (try curry powder instead of the chili powder, or a cajun seasoning). Enjoy!
