How to Prepare Roasted Cauliflower Lentil Curry [Vegan]

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Add the cauliflower florets to a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat and spread in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden and fork tender.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (or olive oil) in a large saucepan. Once heated, add the diced onion, garlic and ginger. Saute for 6-8 minutes or until soft and fragrant, stirring a few times.
  3. Add the salt, curry powder, cumin and turmeric to the saucepan. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the lentils, diced tomatoes and coconut milk. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low-medium heat and let simmer covered for 10 minutes or until the lentils are cooked and soft. You'll need to stir often to avoid sticking.
  5. Once done cooking, stir in the spinach and let it cook a few more minutes until softened. Stir in the roasted cauliflower.
  6. Serve with rice or naan bread. Add some chopped fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

To make this recipe a “one dish” meal, skip roasting the cauliflower and add raw cauliflower to the pot, at the same time as the lentils. You may need to cook the curry a little longer until the cauliflower is fork tender. Add a splash of water or broth if the curry gets too thick.
