Roasted Cauliflower

Roasted Cauliflower

When I met my husband, he was not a “fan” of cauliflower and when I suggested it at the grocery store, his typical response was, “let’s just have broccoli.”  However, once he tasted my roasted cauliflower, he actually started requesting it!  Although we all eat a lot of broccoli, we also love this roasted cauliflower, especially drizzled with my Scallion Vinaigrette Dressing!

Ingredients
1 large head of cauliflower, cut into medium sized florets (they cook unevenly if some are large and others are very small)
~1-2 TBSP salt-free seasoning (I really like Costco/Kirkland brand 21 organic seasoning blend)
1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper (to taste)
a splash of water (or aquafaba)
a clean produce bag

Procedure
Put the cauliflower florets in clean produce bag, add the splash of water, seasoning, salt and pepper. Shake well to coat the florets. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper and roast in ~375F oven until tender and golden tips appear. Enjoy as is, as soon as they are cool enough to eat, with a splash of vinegar (try white wine vinegar, champagne vinegar or rice wine vinegar) or topped with Scallion Vinaigrette Dressing (my family’s favorite).

Put the cut cauliflower in a produce bag and shake to get salt and pepper or other seasoning onto each of the pieces.

Roast the cauliflower in the oven at ~375F until it is roasted and perfectly tender (based on your preference), typically 20-35 minutes.
