Weeknight dinners are tough. Work days are long, traffic is terrible, puppies need walking and Netflix is calling. But, ya gotta eat, right? Those are the nights that I crank up the oven and reach for the nearest veggie. They’re quick to prep and when you add a bit of oil, salt and pepper, they can be down right addicting!
This simple cauliflower takes on a deep nutty flavor when roasted and golden and the lemon keeps it bright and fresh so it pairs well with chicken or fish. Throw in a bit of garlic, a sprinkle of cayenne or top it with a handful of shredded parmesan if that’s your thing.
