ITALIAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



Italian Roasted Cauliflower image

This recipe is easy and delicious. I combined two different recipes to come up with this one. My original basic recipe was from my cousin, who, when growing up, cooked traditional Italian foods. I later came across another recipe that was similar, yet had some differences as well. I took what I thought was the best of both and combined them. This is the refined recipe. My husband is not fond of cauliflower, yet loves this recipe. Roasting the cauliflower not only brings out the best of it's flavor, but texture as well. I hope you will enjoy this as much as we do.
