Growing up, my mom only prepared cauliflower three ways: steamed, covered in homemade cheese sauce, or raw on a veggie tray.

I don’t think I ever really knew how yummy cauliflower was because the flavor was always masked with cheese or ranch dressing.

Roasted cauliflower is a simple (and healthy) way to experience the deliciousness of cauliflower. Plus, it is a super quick and easy dinner side that takes minimal effort to prepare.

Roasted cauliflower can be prepared in many different ways. You can make basic roasted cauliflower with just a little sea salt or with any variety of your favorite seasonings!

Try sprinkling your vegetables with a high-quality parmesan cheese or try my favorite spiced roasted cauliflower recipe below.

Any way that you serve this easy cauliflower recipe, you will have a crave-worthy winner full of flavor and packed with fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals!
