Ingredients
Roasted Vegetable Base
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- ⅓ cup golden raisins
- ⅓ cup toasted walnuts or cashews *see notes below for nut free version
- ⅓ cup chopped cilantro
- Add-ins: roasted chickpeas, quinoa see substitutions in post about other add-ins to make this a complete meal
Creamy Curry Dressing
- ¼ cup granola butter or nut/seed butter of choice
- ½ a lemon, juiced
- ½-1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 thumb grated ginger root
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon garlic infused olive oil or regular olive oil and 1 clove of pressed garlic
- 2-4 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Chop cauliflower into florets and sweet potato into bite size pieces. Toss vegetables with olive and salt and spread on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden and fork tender.
- While vegetables are cooking, toast your walnuts in a frying pan over medium heat, mixing often until just beginning to golden and become fragrant. This will only take 5-10 minutes.
- When vegetables are done, set aside while you make the dressing.
- While vegetables are cooling, make your dressing by combining all ingredients except for the water in a small bowl or jar. Start with ½ teaspoon curry powder and increase based on taste. Miix well to combine, taste and adjust salt and curry powder as needed. Add in water 1 tablespoon at a time until you get a pourable consistency that isn't too thick.
- Toss vegetables, add-ins, and dressing together in a large bowl and serve! Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
To keep this recipe completely nut free, use a can of roasted chickpeas instead! Be sure to use granola butter or a seed butter like tahini or sunflower seed butter in the dressing.
