Roasted Cauliflower

My brother taught me how to make this dish. It's delicious even for those who aren't lovers of cauliflower and very easy to make. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower
3 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garam masala
pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 400˚

Wash cauliflower, peel off leaves, cut off the stem and pat dry.

Break the cauliflower florets off and cut them into bit sized pieces. Place the pieces into a mixing bowl and add olive oil, salt and garam masala. Gently stir to coat each piece of cauliflower.

Place aluminum foil on a baking tray and place pieces of prepared cauliflower on the aluminum foil. Dust lightly with a bit more garam masala.

Roast for 20 minutes then take out the tray and turn the cauliflower pieces over. Roast 5-7 more minutes. The cauliflower should be lightly browning on both sides. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish can be served warm, cool or at room temperature and makes for a yummy snack in between meals.

Health Benefits:
Cauliflower:
Cauliflower is loaded with vitamin C and is in the cruciferous family of vegetables which is famous for cancer prevention properties. Vitamin K, folate and potassium can also be found in this yummy vegetable.
Garam Masala:
Garam Masala is a spice combination that can be found at most local supermarkets. Aspects of this tasty spice contribute to control of blood sugar, anti-inflammation, boosting of brain function and iron intake.

Note:
As a way to enjoy the whole vegetable, I saved the leaves and stem of the cauliflower to add to a juice. Apparently, these are edible and nutritious!
Also, cruciferous vegetables tend to smell not so nice because of natural chemicals that are actually very good for you...so you might want to cook with a window open ;)
