Roasting the cauliflower gives the edges a crispy caramelization and brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetable. It also keeps a nice crunch when cooked quickly at high heat. Try this roasted cauliflower with cumin recipe and you'll never boil, blanch, or steam it again!

I had high hopes for this because it contains 2 ingredients i absolutely love, cauliflower and cilantro but unfortunately those 2 things just dont mix well. I plan on putting the leftovers (which is almost all of it) in a foil packet with some butter and reheating on the grill... Hoping the butter and smokiness of the grill will make it palatable.
