Recipe: Roasted Cauliflower

Roasted Cauliflower | this heart of mine

Cauliflower is one of those overlooked, under appreciated vegetables. For me, it only came to mind as part of a veggie tray and even then, I only considered eating it if the other vegetables were dwindling in numbers or I was feeling especially pious. Let’s be honest: it’s not a crazy, amazing treat. It’s not colorful, it’s rather bland tasting and, maybe it’s just me, but in its raw form, it gets tiresome to chew. However, roasted cauliflower is a game changer.

Roasted cauliflower is divine. MJ and I have eaten whole batches, standing at the counter, before even scooping them off the cooking sheet. Eating whole heads of cauliflower! I never thought it was possible. The florets are softened somewhat yet have a slight crunch and have a good nutty flavor. My favorite pieces are the extra darkened ones.

Cauliflower is overlooked and under appreciated no more.
