curry roasted cauliflower + lemon yogurt & pistachio

looking back on my childhood, there were plenty of signs i would end up as a cook. whenever there was a veggie platter at a social gathering i would go HARD for the cauliflower. other kids went straight for the carrots and celery. but i usually had no competition for the cauliflower.

as an adult it is still one of my favorite veggies and it is DELICIOUS roasted. throw in some curry powder and lemon yogurt and you have a healthy, flavor EXPLOSION.

this easy side dish is great warm in the early spring months, but is also amazing cold and will last you through all your summer dining needs.
