FRENCH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH THYME
I just love roasted cauliflower! It changes it from a ho-hum vegetable into a awesomely delicious one! Adapted this recipe from Rebecca Franklin from Your Guide to French Food. My sister says it tastes even better with a little lemon juice squeezed over when done.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 400°F.
- Mix cauliflower, onions, and garlic together in a large roasting pan.
- Drizzle the vegetables with the oil, season them with the pepper and thyme, and toss gently to coat.
- Roast the vegetables uncovered for 20-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown. If you like, squeeze a little lemon juice over when serving. The smaller you chop the cauliflower, the less time it takes to bake. I love the crunchy brown bits, that's why I chop it all up so small! Enjoy!
ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH ANCHOVY, CAPERS, AND FRESH THYME
Steps:
- Roast the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the green leaves from the cauliflower and reserve. Cut the cauliflower heads in half, then into bite-size florets. Cut the stalks into bite-size pieces also. Place the florets and stalk pieces in a roasting pan, and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until golden and tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter lined with paper towels to drain.
- Make the garlic chips: Pour 1/4 inch of oil into a small saucepan. Add the garlic and set the pan over medium heat. Heat the oil until the chips are golden and crisp, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Make the anchovy sauce: Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and fry the anchovies, garlic, capers, and thyme, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the anchovies and infuse the oil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until fragrant. Add the cream and Parmesan, and bring to a simmer. Just before serving, add the roasted cauliflower pieces and fold in the reserved leaves. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice, and top with the fried garlic chips, cracked black pepper, and shaved Parmesan.
ROASTED MIXED VEGETABLES
Make this your go-to recipe any time roasted vegetables are on the menu. The technique will work for any high-moisture vegetable, and the process of cutting your selected vegetables into 1-inch pieces allows them all to cook at the same rate. The optional garlicky yogurt sauce turns a pan of roasted veggies into a light meal, especially when paired with some crusty bread or a bowl of rice or other grains, or you can serve these as a colorful side dish.

Steps:
- Prepare the vegetables: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Add the vegetables to a rimmed sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons oil, the salt, pepper and thyme (if using), and gently toss vegetables to coat. Use your hands to spread the vegetables out into one layer, spacing them evenly all over the pan.
- Transfer to the oven and roast until they are tender and browned, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring at least once during roasting for even cooking.
- While vegetables roast, you can make yogurt sauce if you like: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Serve roasted vegetables with a dollop of garlic yogurt, if desired, and a drizzle of oil on top.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh thyme sprigs. If you don't have thyme, you can substitute another fresh herb, such as rosemary or oregano.
- To make sure the cauliflower is evenly roasted, toss it with the olive oil and thyme before roasting.
- Roast the cauliflower until it is tender and slightly browned. The roasting time will vary depending on the size of the cauliflower florets.
- Serve the roasted cauliflower immediately, or let it cool and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Roasted cauliflower is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It is a healthy and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of dipping sauces or condiments.
