I think Cauliflower is a much under-rated vegetable. I suppose a lot of people’s experiences with vegetables like cauliflower started off by finding it overboiled and water-logged next to the peas. Roasting is not just for potatoes. It brings out the sweetness in any vegetable and Cauliflower is no exception. You can also use Broccoli for this dish also. This is a great weaning finger food.
