- 3 Tbs fresh chopped tarragon
- 1/3 cup toasted slivered almonds

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, combine cauliflower, shallots, curry powder and toss. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and ? teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Toss and spread on cookie sheet lined with foil. Roast on middle oven rack for 20 minutes or until tender.
