Steps:
- Remove the cauliflower from the plastic wrap if any. (I usually spray all my vegetables with vinegar and then rinse with room temperature water.) Clean the cauliflower and pat dry.
- With the help of a knife, break the cauliflower into uniform bite-size. You want all the pieces to be almost the same size so they can cook evenly.
- Take the fennel, clean first, cut in half and then cut lengthwise into medium-sized pieces or slices.
- Slice the onion.
- If you're using a habanero pepper, remove the seeds and slice thinly.
- Add everything into a bowl and set aside
- Prepare the seasoning blend by mixing the olive oil with your preferred seasoning blend. (add salt and pepper if needed)
- Toss the vegetables with the olive oil and seasoning blend mixture.
- Place into a prepared baking dish and roast in the preheated oven at 425 F for 25 minutes and until golden brown.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.

ROASTED CURRIED CAULIFLOWER AND ONION
A delicious, simple dish of roasted curried cauliflower and onion with the flavors of India. It is quite flavorful so I recommend serving it with a milder main dish, with some plain yogurt on the side and chapatis (Indian flat bread).

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH ONIONS AND FENNEL
From the March 2007 Gourmet magazine, to which I have subscribed for more than 35 years. This combination is outstanding and the prebrowning of each vegetable is key. (Yes, it's more work, but it is worth it!) It is delicous hot and even better at room temperature.

Tips
- Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads that have any brown spots or blemishes.
- Cut the cauliflower into uniform florets: This will help them roast evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a vegetable chopper to cut the cauliflower into florets.
- Toss the cauliflower with olive oil and seasonings: This will help them caramelize and develop flavor as they roast. You can use any seasonings you like, but a simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder always works well.
- Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Stir the cauliflower halfway through roasting: This will help them roast evenly. You can also use a roasting pan with a lid to help them steam as they roast.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven when it is tender and slightly browned: You can test the tenderness of the cauliflower by piercing it with a fork. It should be easy to pierce, but still have a little bit of resistance.
