Fennel Seed Roasted Cauliflower
This summer I’ve been on a cauliflower kick and have been obsessed with everything cauliflower (including this awesome Fennel Seed Roasted Cauliflower recipe!).
I absolutely love cauliflower, especially when it’s roasted with healthy and nutritious herbs and spices, like this easy fennel seed roasted cauliflower. Fennel seed is naturally calming to the digestive tract and may also help to promote hormonal balance. Cumin seed is anther nutritional powerhouse, packed with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory rich nutrients that are also calming for the body. And cauliflower itself has natural detoxifying properties, digestive-healthy fiber and anti-cancer nutrients.
Enjoy this tasty recipe with your favorite entree or even as a snack!
