ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH ONIONS AND FENNEL
From the March 2007 Gourmet magazine, to which I have subscribed for more than 35 years. This combination is outstanding and the prebrowning of each vegetable is key. (Yes, it's more work, but it is worth it!) It is delicous hot and even better at room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and heavy, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to do this.
- Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a crispy texture. Roast the cauliflower at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the florets are tender and slightly browned.
- Add some flavorings to the cauliflower: You can add a variety of flavorings to the cauliflower before roasting it. Some popular options include olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary.
- Serve the cauliflower immediately: Roasted cauliflower is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crispy. You can serve it as a side dish or as a main course.
