When I roast any veggies, I normally eat them with rice or grilled meat. This BBQ cauliflower is so amazingly good I just ate it by itself. I know, most people would probably like something to fill them up aside from their side dish. 

SERVE THIS WITH:

  • Grilled or baked chicken or pork
  • Grilled steak
  • Steamed rice (brown or white)
  • Mixed greens

It’s best to serve this BBQ cauliflower as soon as you make them. Serve it warm.

Hi there! Nice to meet you. My name is Jen.

I’m a mom of 2 wonderful girls. I love to prepare and cook home-cooked meals. Cooking and planning your meals might sound like another chore added to your already long list of things to do. Believe me, I’ve been there. However, cooking more meals at home is worth all the effort.  After years of cooking for my family and teaching culinary classes, I can honestly say that I have more control over the quality of the ingredients I use. That means I’m eating a lot better. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring and you don’t have to eat the same thing repeatedly. There are ways we can do and naturally enhance the flavor of our food and enjoy home-cooked meals.
