Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Dressing

Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Dressing

Do you like cauliflower? 

If you answered no, you might want to try this recipe to see if your opinion changes.  When cauliflower is roasted, the natural sugars caramelize and it takes on a complex nutty flavor that can’t be achieved with boiling or steaming.

But beyond just roasting this veggie, we finish off this side dish with a bright lemony drizzle that’s perfect for spring.  I seriously urge you to try this one.  This might just become your new favorite veggie.
