Roasted Cauliflower

Cauliflower has never been my favorite vegetable. I've tried several recipes using various cooking techniques and this is a winner. It was originally mentioned on the Dr. Oz show a while back.   It is a favorite of my entire family and it has turned me into a lover of cauliflower.

Serving Suggestions:

May be served as a side dish, especially good with rice and chicken.

I sometimes make this into a light lunch by cooking a package of couscous, topping it with roasted cauliflower, kalamata olives, parsley and toasted pine nuts.
