Another great recipe that highlights the value of turmeric, this Moroccan-Style Cauliflower is super easy to make, as well as nutritious. Moroccan cooking traditionally uses olive oil, lemon, and cilantro to present the full flavor vegetables can provide. This recipe is packed with beneficial fiber and antioxidants that make it tasty and good for you.
It is a great side dish to chicken, fish, or to just enjoy as a light snack. The best part…my little, picky eaters devoured all their “little yellow trees”.
