We love it! I have made this cauliflower recipe many times in a row, and I am not tired of it yet! The only thing I do differently from the original recipe is to use olive oil instead of butter....

Really enjoyed this recipe! Easy to make and full of flavor. I added chopped kale as an extra boost. The texture was perfect! Add it when you are cooking the onions and garlic in the butter....
