Level up a basic roasted cauliflower side dish with this savory coconut-milk-based sauce and crispy, crunchy toppings. Turmeric provides an earthiness that sings when paired with ginger, garlic, honey, and a dash of fish sauce. The result is bright, rich, and warming at the same time—and you can’t beat the sunny color!
