    Cauliflower’s pale exterior is certainly not an indicator of its nutritional prowess: it contains vitamins C, E, and K; carotenoids; fibre; and a variety of minerals. Presented as a “roast,” this fun vegetarian centrepiece will be a showstopper at your next gathering.

    Tip: Cauliflower is a blank canvas to experiment with. Try different spices, herbs, and rubs for the “roast” to create an entirely new recipe.
