Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower

Drescription

Roasting cauliflower transforms it into a crispy, tender vegetable. A sponge for other flavors, cauliflower can absorb any spice mix or marinade you add, like this warm and toasty combination of turmeric, cumin and garlic. Serve as a simple side dish, or stir it into salads or grain bowls to add more plant power.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
2 large cloves garlic, minced
8 cups cauliflower florets (1 large head; about 2 pounds)
1-2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Whisk oil, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper and garlic in a large bowl. Add cauliflower and toss to coat. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring once, until browned and tender, 15 to 25 minutes. Drizzle lemon juice over the cauliflower.

Cheesy Eggs in the Hole with Bacon

Kids can use their favorite cookie cutter shapes to make this hearty breakfast with a grilled cheese-like twist. For little kids: Let them cut out the bread with cookie cutters. For big kids: Let them crack the eggs into the toast cut-outs, sprinkle with Parmesan and (if they're up to it) flip the slices.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut zucchini into long thin strips with a spiralizer or vegetable peeler. Place in a colander set over a large bowl. Toss with 1/4 tsp. salt and let drain for 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, pulse almonds in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Add tomatoes, 1 cup basil leaves, garlic, and crushed red pepper; pulse until coarsely chopped. Add 2 Tbsp. oil and 1/2 tsp. salt and pulse until combined; set aside. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Gently squeeze the zucchini to remove excess water; add to the bowl with the spaghetti. Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season salmon with pepper and the remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Add the salmon to the pan; cook until the underside is golden and crispy, about 4 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook until it flakes when nudged with a fork, 2 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and use a fork to gently flake it apart. Add the pesto to the spaghetti mixture; toss to coat. Gently stir in the salmon. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil. Garnish with Parmesan and additional pepper, if desired.

This crowd-pleasing and easy dinner recipe takes just 20 minutes to make, start to finish, so it's perfect for weeknights! When tomatoes are at their in-season best, just a quick chop and a few ingredients are all you need to make a spaghetti sauce in minutes. Store-bought chicken meatballs keep the low-effort theme going all the way to the table.
