I wanted to make cauliflower tonight and I wanted it to taste just a bit different. It turned out well. Dave and I both liked it; even after he responded "I guess I could?" after I asked him if he would like any.
Cauliflower is a good source of fiber and contains vitamins C, B & K, as well as being a good source of minerals.
INGREDIENTS:
1 head cauliflower
2-3 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely minced
Lemon juice from 1/2 a lemon, or about 2 TBSP of bottled lemon juice
Olive oil
Salt & Pepper
Parmesan cheese (I didn't use it and it was still delicious.)
1. Preheat oven to 400. Meanwhile rinse cauliflower well and cut into florets. Place in a single layer in a 9x13 pan. (I didn't do that so instead I turned them half way through baking.)
2. Toss in the garlic. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the cauliflower and drizzle generously with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until tender. The fork should be able to pierce the cauliflower easily. Remove from oven and serve. (This is also when you would sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired.)
NOTE: I've seen lots of recipes where people hide cauliflower in food. As I recall they put it in mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes. Another sneaky mom trick for getting your kids to eat their vegetables. Google it for yourself!
