How to Make Paleo AIP Roasted Turmeric Chicken with Cauliflower
Minimal prep, maximum taste—that’s our recipe’s promise. Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients
- 4-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 large head of cauliflower, broken into florets
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Juice of 1 lemon
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and sea salt in a bowl to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
- Pat chicken thighs dry—this helps get that perfect crispy skin. Rub them generously with olive oil, then coat evenly with the spice mix, making sure to get under the skin.
- Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil and a pinch of salt. If you have leftover seasoning, sprinkle some on the cauliflower too.
- Arrange chicken and cauliflower on a baking sheet, spaced apart to ensure even roasting.
- Roast for 35-45 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp.
- Right after removing from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything to brighten flavors.
- Serve on a platter, garnished with fresh parsley for a colorful finish.
Tips for Paleo AIP Cooking Success
- Give your chicken and cauliflower room to roast—crowding the pan can prevent that perfect crispiness.
- This dish makes fantastic leftovers; store them in an airtight container and enjoy within three days.
- Feel free to customize your spice blend with more garlic or swap oregano for thyme to suit your taste.
