This recipe is about to change the way you feel about cauliflower!

If you are not a cauliflower fan I am about to turn you into one. There’s something magical that happens when this beautiful white vegetable gets roasted. The golden brown color brings a flavor like no other.

There’s the most charming little vegetarian restaurant down the street from my house called Zinc Cafe. They serve a roasted cauliflower my mom and I go nuts for. Perfectly roasted and full of flavor. I finally decided I am going to make it at home so I could enjoy it anytime.  Wait until you try it, you won’t be able to stop munching….and it’s a cruciferous vegetable so the more the merrier:)

    love your recipe! I used lemon infused olive oil, kosher salt, may I suggest a little sprinkle of sugar, because it helps the browning process (caramelization). I used Ancho chile pepper instead of basic black pepper and lemon juice as you suggested. Topped with a little Parmesan before putting under the broiler.
    Fantastic.

    Great recipe! My daughter is a “new” vegetarian so I am trying lots of new recipes. I saw this today and didn’t have time to go to the store so I made it with a bag of frozen. It turned out great! I know it will be even more amazing next time with fresh 🙂

    Oops, scratch that. Just realized I didn’t have any kosher salt so used table salt and forgot to cut it in half. Sorry, my bad! 🙂

    I made this last night as a side for steaks, and my family loved it (even my picky 7 year old)! We’re new at low-carbing, and using this recipe, we didn’t miss potatoes at all 🙂 This is so quick and easy, and has loads more flavor and character than the raw or steamed cauliflower I’m used to. Great recipe!
