A few months ago, I made my own Greek seasoning containing salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, oregano, basil, rosemary, dried lemon zest, marjoram, fenugreek, and cayenne. You can buy a premade seasoning mix in a grocery store or you can make your own version. I have also used the spice mix on cut up chicken breasts and it worked extremely well. Feel free to use this recipe as a guideline to roasting cauliflower, but use whatever spice combination that suits the flavors of your meal.
For this particular meal, I was pairing the cauliflower with a homemade Greek dip that contained saffron and mint spiced ground lamb. Even though the dip was loaded with fresh veggies, I wanted to create a side dish. This roasted cauliflower took minutes to prepare, and was finished in less than 30 minutes. Perfection. My only wish was that we had leftovers!
