This roasted cauliflower is incredible. Served with some cheese sauce, it makes the perfect side for any dinner.
It’s amazing what a hot oven can do with boring vegetables. Roasting them brings out so much flavour and it’s definitely my favourite way to eat them. Roasted cauliflower is no exception.
This definitely is the case for boring old cauliflower. Although in this instance, the flavour is being kicked up two fold – by roasting and by drizzling it with some cheese sauce. Yes please!
This makes the perfect side, pairing well with both chicken or beef dishes. And let’s not forget turkey! This would be beautiful on your holiday table.
My kids are not huge fans of cauliflower. This dish, however, was inhaled. That’s a huge win over here. Roasting the cauliflower brought out the nutty flavours that one would never guess the veggie would have.
For the cheese sauce, I just used mozzarella because it’s usually what I have in my fridge. The white sauce paired well with the cauliflower. It’s like it was a match made in heaven.
