Golden-Spiced Cauliflower FAQs

How long does this cauliflower last?

You can store this cauliflower for up to 3 days, but I recommend eating it right away. The longer this cauliflower sits, the soggier it gets. If you are storing leftovers, however, make sure to keep them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator until you're ready to eat them again.

What is the golden spice?

The cauliflower in this recipe comes out a pretty shade of gold because of the turmeric. Turmeric is a light and delicate spice that adds an earthy flavor to your dishes. It is often used in Indian dishes, expecially curries.
