Turmeric Spiced Cauliflower and Quinoa Bowl

This delightful Turmeric Spiced Cauliflower and Quinoa Bowl is a nourishing and flavorful dish that's perfect for any meal. Packed with protein from quinoa and rich in antioxidants from turmeric, this bowl is as healthy as it is delicious.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Greek yogurt for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, turmeric, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread the florets evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast the cauliflower for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and tender, stirring halfway through.
  4. Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted cauliflower, toasted almonds, and raisins. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine.
  6. Serve the quinoa and cauliflower mixture in bowls, garnished with chopped parsley. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top if desired.

Enjoy your vibrant and healthy Turmeric Spiced Cauliflower and Quinoa Bowl!
