September Featured Ingredient: Cauliflower

Roast it!

Switch out from the usual steaming or boiling of cauliflower, which can make it waterlogged and loose it’s flavor, by roasting it. Found on a growing number of restaurant menus, roasted vegetables are quickly becoming the preferred preparation method for home cooks as well.

The dry heat of roasting does wonders to the flavor, coaxing out and concentrating the flavors. To make, simply slice cauliflower lengthwise and place on a Mrs. Anderson’s Savory Roasting Mat, spritz with olive oil using the EVO Oil Sprayer, and sprinkle seasonings of your choice. Place in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F, and roast until darkened and soft.
