Roasted Cauliflower Steaks
The amazing cauliflower!
“Cauliflower is a member of the cruciferous family of vegetables, often overshadowed by its green cousin broccoli. This is one vegetable that deserves a regular rotation in your diet, however, as it contains an impressive array of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other phytochemicals”.
This recipe is my new favorite – I can eat this anytime of the day, every day!
