ROASTED ITALIAN CAULIFLOWER



Roasted Italian Cauliflower image

We love roasted cauliflower for its nutty flavor and its versatility. While little needs to be added to enhance the flavor, many herb and spice combinations will pair well with this side dish without adding lots of calories. Feel free to leave out the capers if your crew are not fans.

ITALIAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

A unique and flavorful way to serve cauliflower I really like this recipe because it shares the oven well with Spinach No-Boil Lasagna #113858. Make up both of these dishes and put in the oven, for an easy dinner-party meal that can be prepared ahead of time, then cooks in the oven while you entertain. This recipe is a modification of #275788 which deserves the credit for the flavor combination.

ITALIAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



Italian Roasted Cauliflower image

This recipe is easy and delicious. I combined two different recipes to come up with this one. My original basic recipe was from my cousin, who, when growing up, cooked traditional Italian foods. I later came across another recipe that was similar, yet had some differences as well. I took what I thought was the best of both and combined them. This is the refined recipe. My husband is not fond of cauliflower, yet loves this recipe. Roasting the cauliflower not only brings out the best of it's flavor, but texture as well. I hope you will enjoy this as much as we do.
