"Roasting vegetables" are vegetables that are sturdy enough to roast in the oven for a long period of time. Roasting changes the texture and flavor of vegetables, making them taste delicious and often slightly sweeter. 

When roasted at a high temperature and not overcrowded on the pan, cauliflower achieves a crispy, slightly charred texture. Even people who are not fans of cauliflower often enjoy it when prepared this way. The curry powder adds additional flavor, color and nutrients. 

This is a framework recipe. You can substitute 1/2 pound of brussels sprouts (cut in half) or 1 head of broccoli for the cauliflower. You can also substitute any spice blend you'd like for the curry powder.
