This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I had some roasted cauliflower in the fridge and I decided to try this recipe. It was quick and easy to make and it turned out delicious.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used kalamata olives and they added a nice tang. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a perfect meal.

I've never been a big fan of cauliflower, but this recipe changed my mind. The cauliflower was roasted to perfection and the olives added a salty, briny flavor that I loved. I'll definitely be making this again.
