roasted cauliflower
Oven-browned cruciferous vegetable
Roasted cauliflower is cauliflower that has been cooked in an oven at high heat until browned and caramelized.
The technique transforms the vegetable's texture from dense and slightly bitter to tender and nutty-sweet.
Once a neglected side dish, roasted cauliflower became a staple of contemporary cooking, appearing as steaks, in grain bowls, or as a meat substitute: We're having roasted cauliflower for dinner.
