We can’t get enough of this quick and easy roasted cauliflower recipe. Whether you want to add another vegetable to your herbivore repertoire or you’re looking for a healthy snack, this dish fits the bill in just 30 minutes. Don’t think that cauliflower is boring just because it has no color and has a reputation as an acquired taste. Roasting brings out the natural sugars in the vegetable and of course adds great flavor. Cauliflower also contains a lot of dietary fiber, Vitamin C, folic acid, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin K. Roasted cauliflower lets you add savory herbs and spices to perk up this previously bland veggie, so impress your hungry crew with this jazzed up version. We hope you enjoy this hidden treasure!
