Cauliflower is a healthy vegetable packed with essential nutrients and vitamins. The vegetable is an excellent source of vitamin C, omega 3 fatty acids and fiber. Instead of the traditional method of boiling cauliflower, it's possible to roast the vegetable, which gives it a crisp texture and a nutty flavor. Cauliflower can be roasted in olive oil; adding balsamic vinegar gives the vegetable a tangy and sweet taste.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the cauliflower with the olive oil and spices in a large bowl until the cauliflower has been evenly coated.
Step 2
Spread the cauliflower on a high-rimmed non-stick baking sheet in a single layer. Bake the cauliflower until the bottom begins to brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the cauliflower from the baking sheet and return to the bowl. Toss the cauliflower with the vinegar until it is well coated.
Step 4
Return the cauliflower to the baking sheet.
Step 5
Return the cauliflower to the oven and roast for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
Tips and Warnings
- For a variation, add ½ cup Parmesan cheese with the vinegar.
