Roasted Manchurian Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 T canola oil
• 3 green cardamom pods
• 3 dried red chiles
• 1 T coriander seeds
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
• 2 1/2–3 pound head of cauliflower, cored and broken into medium florets
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 T canola oil
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 cups ketchup (homemade or store-bought)
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 9 by 11-inch baking dish generously with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Grind the cardamom, chiles, coriander, cumin and peppercorns in a coffee grinder or small food processor until fine. Mix the spices with 1 T canola oil in a large bowl. Add the cauliflower, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat. Transfer the cauliflower to the prepared baking dish and roast for 20 minutes.
3. While the cauliflower roasts, heat 1 T canola oil and 1/2 tsp of pepper in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring often. Add the ketchup and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium and add the cayenne pepper and salt. Cook until the ketchup thickens, stirring occasionally, 6–8 minutes.
4. Once the cauliflower has roasted for 20 minutes, add the sauce to the baking dish and stir to coat. Continue roasting until the cauliflower is tender, another 20–30 minutes, stirring midway through.
