I’m loving cauliflower lately. Usually when I buy a head of it, I end up eating it raw.

I bought this one with the intention of making more Buffalo Cauliflower, but then I decided to roast it. It’s been on my “to do” list for months.

Everyone (mostly my cousin) suggests roasting cauliflower whenever I rave about my love for roasted green beans and potatoes so I’m finally glad I did it.

I love roasting vegetables. You can switch up the seasonings to whatever you like and eat the whole pan without feeling guilty about it.

Every time I roast a veggie, I end up sneaking bites every time I walk by the pan and before you know it, the pan’s empty. It makes for easy clean up 😉 Oven Roasted Cauliflower | Persnickety Plates

    I get so tired of steamed veggies, after seeing this, I think it’s time to get on the roasting bandwagon. YUM!

    I love cauliflower but can’t recall ever having roasted it. I do love roasting veggies, though, so I need to give this a try.
