This is the only way I like to eat cauliflower- ROASTED! So yummy.
And what RecipeGirl wants, Recipe Girl gets! Thanks for dropping by, Lori :)
I made this for the first time tonight and 5/6 of our family liked or loved it. :)
Any suggestions on what to pair this with for dinner?
I can’t really think of anything it would be bad with — once I had some roasted cauliflower with caramelized scallops and bacon that was to die for :)
Haha, Bethany! That’s probably about the same approval rating I get in my own house ;)
I made this tonight but used lime juice in place of lemon juice and it was a huge hit! As far as what to pair it with I went with homemade fried chicken, breast meat. Yum!
Hi Sara. I made this recipe tonight and was awesome. My husband love it and my little girl too …!!!
I made this today& enjoyed it as a main dish. Delicious!
Could you also use diced garlic that is in the jar, and also could you use Parmesan Cheese that is sprinkled on spaghetti?
