This easy to make dish is so tasty that even meat lovers will enjoy it! A great side dish or an entrée for a meatless meal, this marinated dish has great spicy flavor. Adjust the spices for your family’s taste to make it stronger or milder.
The marinade of spices and Greek yogurt is the key to the wonderful taste. It’s thick and easy to spread onto your whole cauliflower. If you’d like the spices inside the cauliflower, turn it upside down first and pour a little marinade into head and let it run between florets. Bake for a great roasted flavor. You can serve it as a side dish or as the main event with more roasted vegetables like potatoes and carrots. For a salad, place roasted head on a platter and surround with your favorite salad components like cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce.

I don’t like Cauliflower but my family do. It might be something to make for them x
Give it a try if they like a little spice in the meal. Have a lovely day!
Sounds lovely and I like the twist the flavours X #mmbc
Cauliflower is one of my favourites but the children don’t like it. You recipe sounds delicious, I wonder if I could change their minds? #mmbc
Sounds so good! We’re working on more meatless meals here….this would work!
This looks so good. I love cauliflower. This is great!!
Enjoy!
Carol – plain cooked cauliflower can be a little ‘boring’, so I like the look of this recipe a lot! Thanks!
Enjoy!
Hi Carol, I do add cauliflower when roast mixed veg, but would never have thought to roast a whole head. The marinade sounds tasty and Greek yogurt is something we do haveplenty of in the fridge.

It is tasty – cauliflower is kind of bland which makes it great to add to all kinds of herbs and spices.
Hi this is Kristina visiting from Party in Your PJs. This looks so yummy! Cauliflower is one of my favorite veggies to roast but I’ve never thought to try it like this.
It’s really good!
