Wednesday, April 13th, 2011 - Roasted Cauliflower

Recipe: http://gimmesomeoven.com/garlic-roasted-cauliflower/


Ingredients:
  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 1 head of garlic, cloves separated & unpeeled
  • 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup finely-chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
  • 2 Tbsp. freshly-squeezed lemon juice
Method:
Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add the garlic cloves. Boil for 15 seconds; drain and peel the skins off.  Cut the largest cloves in half lengthwise.
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the cauliflower with the garlic, 1 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread into a single layer and roast, stirring twice, until the cauliflower is tender and the garlic is lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl with the garlic and pan juices. Add the remaining 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil, parsley, pine nuts, and lemon juice. Toss well and serve hot or warm. Serves 6.



Changes: No parsley, pine nuts, or lemon juice.  Skipped garlic part and just tossed dired garlic on.

This was just okay.  The cauliflower just tasted mushy and bland.  I think I'm giving up on cauliflower as a stand-alone side dish.
