Cauliflower Roast

So, I was trying to think of a way that I could make a really flavorful set it and forget it kind of main dish. I wanted something that felt hearty but didn’t make you feel weighed down. Cauliflower! It is one of the most versatile vegetable that you can find.

That is a pretty cauliflower!

What do I need?

  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • evoo
  • pink salt
  • black pepper

Optional Items:

  • Liquid smoke
  • Garlic
  • Hot sauce
  • BBQ sauce
  • Italian herbs

How do I make this?

  • Preheat oven for 350.
  • Take off all the extra leaves around the base of the cauliflower and cut the stem if needed so that it lays flat in the baking dish.
  • Drizzle with evoo and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake the cauliflower in the oven for 20 minutes, covered with aluminum foil.
  • Take the foil off of your roast and bake until the desired color on top and the tenderness of your cauliflower.
  • If adding a sauce, bake for an extra 5-10 minutes with the sauce on it.
I topped my cauliflower roast with some vegan nacho cheeze sauce, added some vegan chorizo, and some fresh avocado. Since I am on a high fat, low carb diet, I usually drizzle some flavored olive oil on it. Usually chili oil + persian lime olive oil.

Send me some ideas for next time. Just remember, anything you can make, I can probably make vegan!
