I got around to trying roasted cauliflower as was suggested here a few days
ago, only I used different seasoning.

I cut the cauliflower into florets, sprinkled on some kosher salt, black
pepper, garlic powder, hot paprika (just a little) olive oil and grated
romano cheese. I sprinkled everything on, then tossed with my hands to
make sure it was all coated, and put it all on my largest flat baking pan.

I baked it in my convection oven at 400 degrees for a half an hour.

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!

I have never eaten so much cauliflower in one sitting in my life. It was
as delicious as french fries, but a heckofalot less fattening, and very kind
to my bg's. Hubby loved it too.

Of course, it wasn't the only thing we had for dinner, but it was the star
of the meal!

I started subscribing to a once-a-week delivery service of organic
veggies this fall. They stick to as close to local as they can until
the snow flies and then it's all from out of state, and some from out of
country.

Anyway, the local organic farmers have been growing a lot of cauliflower
this year, apparently, because I've had a string of weeks with a head of
cauliflower in my weekly box. This is the first time I've had what I
would term "too much cauliflower." I never thought it could happen, but
it has. I've even been heard to say, "Oh, no, not another cauliflower!"

Hell has, apparently frozen over. I love the stuff, but even that has
its limits. ;-)

i wish we had such a service, Lee ss

I could eat it roasted that way every day and not get tired of it!

That happened to me with cabbage. Alas it wasn't good cabbage. Very
bitter. I could take a bit in a soup but it didn't make good coleslaw at
all. Got to where I would just toss the cabbage. I no longer get the
boxes. There is no way the two of us can eat all that. Especially the
fruit. Neither of us is a fruit lover, although Angela does eat apples
pretty much every day and oddly she will eat grapes at my parent's house,
but rarely ever at home.
