Fight Cancer with Whole Roasted Cauliflower

Not only is this unique recipe a great comfort food, the combination of cauliflower and  curry  fights cancer, according to recent research.

While this recipe is sumptuous (and packed with antioxidants) when using Indian spices, you can also make whole roasted cauliflower with any of your favorite spices for a different twist. Try smoked paprika (and top with crumbled blue cheese just before serving for a smoky-cheesy flavor), mustard and dill for a Scandinavian twist or chili powder, oregano and cumin for a Mexican-inspired side.
