Roasted Cauliflower
Simple and delicious. How I wish I had thought to do this years ago. This might be an Ina Garten recipe or from a magazine I can't remember. Ooops :).
Recipe: Roasted Cauliflower
Ingredients:
2 lbs. (about 8 cups) cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 zest and juice from 1 lemon
1 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes and/or
1/4-1/2 teaspoon white pepper, ground
2 teaspoons fresh herb such as rosemary or thyme
2 teaspoons minced garlic
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the garlic. Toss to mix well and place in a large baking dish or shallow roasting pan. Place the pan in the oven and roast the cauliflower, turning once or twice, until tender and caramelized around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir the garlic into the pan.
Remove the pan from the oven and serve immediately.

Simple and delicious works for me. Great use of an underused veg!
This is my new favorite vegetable dish! I make it even simpler with just olive oil, salt and pepper. I also roast it at 425 degrees so it gets really carmelized. I served it at a NYE dinner and three different people asked what I put in it. I'll try it with your flavor boosters next time.
i love cauliflower! I love it stir fried, baked as a gratin, cooked in curries or masala gravies or just simply boiled. :o)
