Oven Roasted Cauliflower
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I've been testing some new vegetable recipes for the Thanksgiving holiday. Most of them involve roasting vegetables that are topped with a separately prepared sauce just prior to serving. While they have all been delicious, I think they add an unnecessary layer of complication to an already busy meal. So, I kept refining my search and found a recipe for roasted cauliflower that had been developed by Emeril LaGasse. After an initial testing, I made a few modifications to his recipe and came up with the one I'm sharing with you today. Cauliflower prepared in this fashion is really delicious. I do, however, think the flavors are too strong to serve with turkey and the other elements of a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Having said that, I have no hesitation about serving it with pork, beef or lamb. I love the simplicity of this dish and the ease with which it can prepared. I will make it often. I hope you, too, will give it a try. Here's the recipe.
