Roasted Cauliflower

Cauliflower. That strangest-looking of vegetables.
Seriously. Not pretty. Even with the little green fringe around the edges. Not pretty at all.


But as we all know because we're grownups and grownups know these things...it's not all about looks.
I like cauliflower because it is so adaptable. I have found that it can successfully soak up all kinds of flavors, which is a good thing because otherwise it's kinda...blah.


My absolutely favoritest way to prepare cauliflower is to roast it.

 
Drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper (and your choice of spices...I used garlic powder, but red pepper flakes would probably be super tasty!), roasted in a 375 degree oven for about an hour (making sure to turn it halfway through)...
 

 
Slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.  Deeeeelicious!
 
Roasting veggies = a great way to mix up what you may not have been super eager to include in your meals.  I know that cauliflower isn't typically something I'd reach for right away in the past.
 
Now? Gimme!!!
 
What's your favorite vegetable? Which vegetables (if any) do you like to roast?
