BREADED CAULIFLOWER
I thought this recipe would be here, but didn't see it. It's one of my favorite ways to have cauliflower. My Grandmother made this often. Frying it with breading just does something to the flavor. You can also add other spices to change the flavor, such as Italian spices, Essence, Garlic, etc. It is so easy.

ROASTED ITALIAN CAULIFLOWER
We love roasted cauliflower for its nutty flavor and its versatility. While little needs to be added to enhance the flavor, many herb and spice combinations will pair well with this side dish without adding lots of calories. Feel free to leave out the capers if your crew are not fans.

Steps:
- Adjust an oven rack to the top position and preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Toss together the cauliflower, tomatoes, olive oil, capers, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and the garlic on a baking sheet. Roast until the cauliflower browns in some spots and is tender, tossing about halfway through, about 20 minutes. Toss with a squeeze of lemon and the parsley. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to make the breadcrumb mixture. This will help to create a fine, even crumb that will adhere to the cauliflower.
- Be sure to press the cauliflower florets firmly into the breadcrumb mixture. This will help to ensure that they are evenly coated.
- Cook the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Flip the cauliflower halfway through cooking. This will help to ensure that they are golden brown on all sides.
- Serve the cauliflower immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
