ROASTED CAULIFLOWER
This recipe was originally one of Martha Stewart's but I've adjusted it to make it more to my taste. This has become my DH's favorite vegetable recipe. In fact, we love it so much that the two of us usually pig out on the whole recipe.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy, with tightly closed florets. Avoid heads with brown spots or bruises.
- Roast the cauliflower in a hot oven: This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a slightly crispy texture. Roast the cauliflower at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until the florets are tender and slightly browned.
- Make the caper vinaigrette ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can make the vinaigrette up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
- Use fresh herbs in the vinaigrette: This will add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the dressing. Some good options include parsley, cilantro, and basil.
- Serve the roasted cauliflower warm or at room temperature: The cauliflower is delicious either way, so you can serve it immediately after roasting or let it cool down to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
Roasted cauliflower with caper vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. The roasted cauliflower is slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the caper vinaigrette adds a bright, herbaceous flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
