    serves 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, stir together the oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry powder, and salt. Add the cauliflower, tossing to coat thoroughly with the spice mixture.
