Recipe Notes
This roasted cauliflower recipe makes a perfect side dish for almost any meal with a great balance of flavors. The higher temperature will both caramelize the cauliflower but also the garlic. When garlic turns brown during cooking it changes the taste – making it slightly more bitter but that brings a great balance to the other flavors in the dish. Using the white wine to deglaze the pan helps to bring all the flavors together.
The best recipes are the simplest and veggies are best made simple. There are 8 ingredients in this recipe including the salt and pepper. The balance of sweet, salty and savory between the cauliflower, onions, garlic and pine nuts is perfect but, best of all, it takes so little to make. The prep is simple and roasting even easier.
