Roasting cauliflowe­r opens up the recipe possibilit­ies

As the weather gets cooler, it’s time to consider meals with a little warmth

- Maggie Savage

As the weather turns colder, it’s time for us to put down the smoothies and eat warmer foods. Plus, too many smoothies are hard on our digestion. Our tummies get a little lazy when all they have to do is digest a smoothie!

I don’t know about you, but my favourite way to eat warm vegetables is when they ’re roasted. We love roasting vegetables at our house. It’s so simple and it’s such a great way to get your vegetables in for the day. Plus, you can pretty much roast any vegetable!

I love to use my roasted vegetables as salad ingredient­s this time of year. This recipe for roasted cauliflowe­r is perfect for topping salads, eating in a bowl on its own, or as part of a charcuteri­e board, and we even like roasted cauliflowe­r as a pizza topping.

The possibilit­ies are truly endless when it comes to roasted vegetables.
