    This cauliflower is so versatile, you can eat it with anything! Wrap it up in a pita, stuff it in a sandwich, cook it up with a stir-fry, or serve it solo with sauce!

    How to Make Golden-Spiced Cauliflower

    1. Trim and cut cauliflower into florets.
    2. Heat oil in a saucepan.
    3. Fry spices, stirring continuously.
    4. Add remaining ingredients.
    5. Cook until tender and most water is absorbed.
    6. Remove large spices and serve.

    Golden-Spiced Cauliflower FAQs

    How long does this cauliflower last?

    You can store this cauliflower for up to 3 days, but I recommend eating it right away. The longer this cauliflower sits, the soggier it gets. If you are storing leftovers, however, make sure to keep them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator until you're ready to eat them again.

    What is the golden spice?

    The cauliflower in this recipe comes out a pretty shade of gold because of the turmeric. Turmeric is a light and delicate spice that adds an earthy flavor to your dishes. It is often used in Indian dishes, expecially curries.
