Roasted Cumin Cauliflower
Compounds found in cruciferous vegetables, such as cauliflower, broccoli and Brussels Sprouts, are more effective at cancer prevention when eaten together in the whole food rather than individually, as is found in supplements.
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 head of cauliflower
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
