Roasted Cauliflower Recipe
29 Sep
Roasted Cauliflower is a great way to get yummy veggies into your families diet. I found this recipe while watching a cooking show, and couldn’t help but give it a try. Simple, with just enough seasoning to make it super special. If you are looking for a recipe that makes veggies shine, this is it.
Often, I find myself so focused on the main dish, that my sides are barely given a second thought. I usually just steam some mixed veggies and toss with a touch of butter and seasoning salt. I was searching high and low for a delicious, easy way to prepare veggies. Roasted Cauliflower is the perfect recipe to make when you don’t want to spend a ton of time on your side dish. I knew Roasted Cauliflower was a hit when my husband was shocked that he liked it and went back for seconds. He is always willing to try my new recipes, but I know it is worthy of The Hungry Wife when he fully approves.
Be sure to try this side dish, I’m willing to bet it will become a regular at your dinner table.
