Roasted 'Cauli' is a vibe (so my girls tell me). I don't know why it's now a vibe, because I have been lurving it for ever!
Despite its versatility to be blended, pureed, roasted or steamed it has great nutritional benefits, and is an excellent source of vitamin C, folate, vitamin K and fibre which is also ripping news for gut health.
I have been making my roasted Cauliflower Salad for yonks, and with a sprinkle of be. Health Pure Collagen before you pop it into the oven, you get the benefit of added protein (praise be.). It can be served hot or cold, on its own or as a side dish.
Perfect as a 'what would you like us to bring', thing to your friend's house over summer; even though we really like it when they say, 'no nothing, just yourselves,' (huzzah)!
In the absence of that glorious event, give this a go!
It looks lovely too; everyone will bestow you with culinary god status (or just nod a lot as they eat it)!
