I like cauliflower in salads and with dip. But I've never had it hot before. I've seen recipes with it smothered in cheese but of course anything is good smothered in cheese!
But then I saw on Simply Recipes how simple and wonderful her cauliflower was with her amazing pictures.
Then another blogger, I can't remember who, had a post with roasted cauliflower and she was surprised how incredibly tasty it was.
That's all it took, I was sold.
I enjoyed it but would add some different seasonings next time to give it more of a punch of flavor.
We ate this with some pulled chicken sandwiches with a Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce!

I love roasted cauliflower! One of my favorite ways to season it is with curry, garam masala, cumin and garlic. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love roasted cauliflower too. I did a post where I roasted many veggies. That is the way I learned to like brussels sprouts, with balsamic and walnuts. I agree with Jenn, cauliflower just seems to scream for some curry spices!
ReplyDeleteI actually think that looks delicious!! Thanks for the visit today. :)
ReplyDeleteWe love roasted cauliflower. We eat it several different ways but our favorite is super simple. Chicken thighs, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes. Chop the veggies into bite size pieces and put them in a large roasting pan with the chicken. Drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic, and a generous amount of yellow curry powder. Roast at 425* until the chicken is cooked through. Super tasty.
ReplyDeleteI stir fry mine with brocoli... with Olive oil and garlic... YUM
ReplyDeleteThe Mr. doesn't like cauliflower so I am always trying to figure out different ways to make it. I will give this version a try.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try roasted cauliflower and Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce is sounding pretty good to me too!
ReplyDeleteNow this is definitely a new way to cook cauliflower! Looks good--a nice change from the usual melted cheese, as you point out.
