Spiced Moroccan Cauliflower

Cauliflower is just the best! One cup of cauliflower has almost 60% of your daily-intake of vitamin C! It is also a great source of vitamin K. And, it’s also really delicous. This side dish is a bit unique, pairing roasted broccoli with diced tomatoes with some Moroccan-inspired spices. We love the health benefits of turmeric, and the flavor that this spice blend brings is just perfect with the addition of cooked tomato, garlic, and onion.

It’s perfect to pair with a nice lean protein, like chicken or fish!
