Even if you're not typically a fan of this creamy white, strange-textured vegetable... this dish may sway you to swing the other way. Sliced garlic and lemon juice are roasted right into the cauliflower. Roasting imparts wonderful flavors unto this veggie. Wonderful flavors that you should not miss.
Add a sprinkle of Parmesan and chopped chives to the steaming hot, roasted cauliflower and serve it up right away. We enjoyed this with Sauteed Chicken with Olives, Capers and Roasted Lemons. And I do mean that we really enjoyed this. Major restaurant quality side dish, for sure.

Frankly, anyone who isn't a fan of cauliflower is no friend of mine! Haha. :) I love it roasted :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I haven't seen any good cauliflower for awhile. i will keep this in mind for when I do!
ReplyDeleteAnd to think I just saute mine with garlic :( I need to get more creative with my veg; I'll start here, if you don't mind :)
ReplyDeleteMmmm,
ReplyDeleteI haven't made cauliflower in a long time. This really looks delish!
seems like a simple and yummy dish! I must try this soon!
ReplyDeleteI just love love love roasted cauliflower...such an improved flavor over boiling the heck out of it. I've pureed roasted cauliflower for soup and it was great!
ReplyDeleteI don't get why people don't like cauliflower...it's great steamed, a base for a soup or, roasted like in this instance.
ReplyDeletecollyflower is so underrated and underused. i personally don't care for it raw, but it's good steamed and GREAT roasted. way to bring some much-deserved attention to this veggie!
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to try oven roasting cauliflower! And you can't go wring with garlic, olive oil and lemon, either. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteCauliflower is one of my most favorite vegetables - raw and cooked. I've taught my husband to eat it roasted and baked, too! (Raw? He's not so into it. Yet.)
ReplyDeletehmm i like the combination of flavours! something different from the usual cauliflower and cheese :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the sound of this cauliflower dish! It looks so good and one that is a must try :)

Deeelish! Roasting makes yummy cauliflower even better - and I love all of your add-ons! Yum yum.
ReplyDeleteOoh I love roasted cauliflower!
ReplyDeleteTonight I'm tired. Lori, would you please come over to my place to cook? :-p
ReplyDeleteI think this post brought together a small niche of cauliflower enthusiasts, haha!! I love mine fried, but often find myself baking it as you did to be a bit healthier!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I adore the humble cauliflower. It was actually my food craving when I was pregnant with my son. I ate it all day long, in between dishes of ice cream. It is so yummy roasted. My new favorite way is to roast it with green beans and cherry tomatoes. YUM
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try this and I need to. Everyone says this is the only way to make cauliflower.
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE cauliflower prepared this way! Sooo good! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! This is the 3rd roasted cauliflower recipe I've seen this morning. I think it's a sign I should make some. That's not a bad thing since yours looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteYou know, you're absolutely right - side dishes certainly DON'T get the recognition that they deserve on most blogs (guilty as charged!). Kudos to you for granting a side dish the spotlight - especially a side dish featuring cauliflower and garlic (two of my all-time favorite vegetables/ingredients). Yum!
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed to say this, but I've only eaten cauliflower raw. I'm going to have to try this-it really looks good.
ReplyDeleteI love cauliflower and this looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite, favorite, favorite dishes ever! Sometimes, when I'm feeling a big decadent, I'll whip up an aioli and serve it with the cauliflower as an hors d'oeuvre.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!
Looks great. Sounds like a perfect accompaniment to your fabulous chicken dish. A real winner!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a refreshing blend of flavors! I love it!:) thanks for sharing:) I made something similar with roasted asparagus yesterday and posted it today:)
ReplyDeletebtw, I'm hosting the Monthly Mingle on my blog this month and would love to have you participate!:) pls check details on my blog
I need more recipes for cauliflower and I love to roast vegetables. It's so easy and always tastes delicous. Wonderful recipe.
ReplyDeleteWow that looks amazing... I might have to keep an eye out for cauliflower this summer at the farmer's market.
ReplyDeleteoh yea. this rocks!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you posted this! I love cauliflower but I'm not typically drawn to it in the grocery store. I've always loved the flavors that come out in roasting though. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! Thank you for giving cauliflower the recognition it deserves. Left on vegetable trays all over the world....
ReplyDeleteI use it for a lot of dishes... roasting it sounds wonderful! I'm adding this to my list of things to make!
Lori,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love cauliflower done this way. I had my first taste this veggie back in December and I've never looked back.
Oh! And I tried roasted lemons tonight. Absolutely wonderful. I used asparagus, green garlic and lemons and paired it with turbot and parmesan cheese. Nice, light, dinner that smelled amazing.
Thanks for the suggestion!
This, I definitely have to try.
ReplyDeleteRoasted cauliflower is the way to go! I will have to try it with lemon and garlic.
ReplyDeleteRoasting cauliflower with lemon truly does elevate it.
ReplyDeleteRoast cauliflower is amazing indeed - will try with lemon and garlic.
