The Best Roasted Cauliflower

The secret ingredient in this roasted cauliflower makes it simply irresistible. 

I know some people may think I’m crazy, but honestly, vegetables are my favorite food group. Beyond their benefits, I truly love how they taste. But, it wasn’t always that way. I can remember shunning my aunt’s sliced baked eggplant (eww…just never had a thing for it), and my mom’s overcooked broccoli boiled to the near point of disintegration (double eww).

Having personally went from a vegetable hater (I hardly ate any up until the age of 18), to a vegetable lover, I know the key is preparing and cooking the veggies right! It makes a world of difference.

So, this simple roasted cauliflower recipe makes use of three factors to make it crave-able: Temperature, time, and almond flour!

Yes, almond flour adds a bit of texture and fat, which when combined with pink salt, makes it taste almost like Parmesan cheese.

While it does take a longer time to roast cauliflower compared to other veggies, the prep time (meaning the time you need to be in the kitchen) is minimal.
