Roasted Cauliflower with Turmeric

I love roasting veggies! Usually I go simple - EVOO and salt and pepper with a squeeze of lemon, but this recipe is fun and different on a chilly afternoon. Great as a healthy snack, light lunch, yummy side dish -whateves. For those of you not familiar with Turmeric, it has a distinctly earthy, slightly bitter, slightly hot peppery flavor and a mustardy smell. It's got a beautiful orange color and sprinkles on nicely! I used it when I made by Moroccan Bastilla ages ago and figured I could get good use out of it again.

Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower cut into bite sized pieces
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp powdered ginger
1 tsp powdered garlic
salt
pepper
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Directions:
Get your oven hot as hell. Toss cauliflower in EVOO. Sprinkle remaining ingredients. Toss well. Bake for around 15 minutes at 450. Serve immediately. Optional: Squeeze a little lemon on top. Yum!
