The familiar flavour of roasted broccoli and cauliflower intersect with the exotic notes from curry powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper in this fabulous side dish. Ready in under 40 minutes, the majority of the work is done in the oven, leaving plenty of time to finish the meal. Serve with roasted chicken or a grilled pork tenderloin, or make a vegetarian bowl with some steamed quinoa and roasted sliced almonds. With 12 servings, this side is perfect for big gatherings. If you like a spicy kick, add a little cayenne pepper to the spice blend. Try this recipe with other vegetables such as carrots, or sprinkle over fresh kale and roast for tasty kale chips.
