Roasted Garlic Cauliflower

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:)
