The Saturday Evening Pot: Our Daughter Would Not Touch ...

I am not a fan of cauliflower, and neither were The Well-Fed Son or Daughter until The Lucky Wife suggested we try it roasted.? She is always looking for new ways to try foods they haven't eaten well in the past or if they get bored with our regular rotations.

We had tried a mashed cauliflower recipe, which The Lucky Wife and The Well-Fed Son enjoyed, but not The Well-Fed Daughter.? We think it was mostly the texture she wasn't crazy about.

So not long ago, we decided to give roasting a try with a little seasoning added to the cauliflower.? The Well-Fed Son could probably take it or leave it, but The Well-Fed Daughter will ask for more when she finished her first helping.? Every parent's dream.

Before the roasted cauliflower recipe, though, The Lucky Wife wanted to share what she found on Pinterest.? She was so excited to find this because of our gluten-restricted diet.? Are you ready?? She says to keep an open mind, those of you who aren't big cauliflower fans.? We have not tried this yet, but we will be trying it soon:

Cauliflower Pizza Crust!

(Note from The Lucky Wife:? I admit, it sounds interesting and very different, but it looks delicious and is definitely worth trying since it would be so much healthier than regular pizza crust.)

Now, I understand we have probably lost some of you, but for those still interested in our roasted cauliflower recipe, here you go.... Enjoy.

Roasted Cauliflower

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch cauliflower, trimmed into florets
• Kosher salt
• garlic powder
• olive oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Fill a large stockpot with water and bring to boil over high heat.? Add approximately 2 teaspoons Kosher salt.? Place cauliflower flourettes in boiling salted water and blanch for approximately 3 minutes.
3. Remove cauliflower and place in large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Once cooled, drain water and spread florets evenly on sheet pan. Drizzle florets with olive oil and sprinkle generously with kosher salt and garlic powder.
4. Place sheet pan in oven and roast vegetables for 25 to 35 minutes or until cauliflower begins to brown very slightly. Remove from oven and serve.
