ROASTED ITALIAN CAULIFLOWER
We love roasted cauliflower for its nutty flavor and its versatility. While little needs to be added to enhance the flavor, many herb and spice combinations will pair well with this side dish without adding lots of calories. Feel free to leave out the capers if your crew are not fans.

BREADED CAULIFLOWER
I thought this recipe would be here, but didn't see it. It's one of my favorite ways to have cauliflower. My Grandmother made this often. Frying it with breading just does something to the flavor. You can also add other spices to change the flavor, such as Italian spices, Essence, Garlic, etc. It is so easy.
