Roasting Cauliflower

When my daughter was coming home from work last night she stopped at the farm and picked up two huge heads of cauliflower. They are gorgeous and white as snow. Believe it or not she only paid $1.50 for each head and that's way cheaper than the supermarket sells for smaller ones.
While she's at work today I'm going to roast one so we can have it with dinner and I'll save the other for another day.
I love roasted vegetables but cauliflower is my favorite. The only other way I would prefer cauliflower is if it was breaded and fried BUT since I rarely fry anything roasting is the way to go.
How about you....do you like roasted vegetables?

@Mike197602 breading and frying puts it in a new dimension

The cooking smell isn't great if you boil it but roasting would be different...I looked up breading and frying too and that looks good.

@Marilynda1225 I think I made a sauce that I poured over the cauliflower head and "baked" it in the oven. This was a lifetime ago so doubt if I could even find the recipe if I wanted to. Do you put anything on the cauliflower?

@patgalca when I roast it I break it apart and toss with some olive oil and then sprinkle with salt and pepper and put it on a cookie sheet to bake

No I break it all apart so it cooks faster
It's hard when someone else is not adventurous when it comes to veggies

I think that the only vegetable that I've ever roasted is potatoes.
So, I am not really very well-versed at how this is done or what it would taste like.
I'll have to go to a site and look it up, and maybe you'll post about the outcome tomorrow-hint hint!!

@Marilynda1225 I'm going to have to try that the next time I have fresh cauliflower. We love trying new things.

I sure will post about it.
I break apart the cauliflower, toss it with some Olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Throw in the oven and bake for about 35 min or too tender.
I'm sure there's different ways to make it

I'm sure there's different ways to make it especially if you want to experiment with spices

It's so easy and if you like cauliflower it's a different way to prepare it and still be on the healthy side

@Marilynda1225 Brussels sprouts are often bitter and it takes days to digest those little things.

I pretty much like any vegetable that's roasted but not fond of brussel sprouts.

@Marilynda1225 It takes really good and best when eaten right out of the oven. Leftovers are OK but not as good.

@Marilynda1225 I work in a commercial kitchen and we've never roasted cauliflower.
You've inspired me to look into it and I'm liking what I see so maybe we'll try it

I like roasted veggies. I made a cauliflower steak once..umm, not again. Cauliflower rice or potatoes aren't bad though.

I saw cauliflower steak being made on tv one day and it looked good but I certainly would call it steak. I've also seen cauliflower pizza but haven't tried it.
! I love to roast root veggies - like carrots, squashes, potato. Then some greens like broccolini or asparagus.@Marilynda1225 (79708)

I do love roasted vegetables, I have some squash and green beans that I picked up at the farm stand. I haven't seen any cauliflower at the farm stand I go to.
