Need an easy side dish that is low carb, yet full of flavor? Try this roast cauliflower for deep, delicious flavor!
Ah, the wonderful cauliflower. It is a very versatile veggie in the keto/low carb world. It can become pizza, replace potatoes or rice and just about anything starchy. Cauliflower, you are the low carb dieter’s best friend, truly.
Now, when you need an exciting side dish that pairs great with meatloaf, roast chicken, or even with fried eggs, this roast cauliflower will do the job nicely. Roast cauliflower maintains it’s sweetness. Actually, it brings out the natural sweetness even more.
Cauliflower will also take on more of the flavors it is cooked with, essentially absorbing the oils and seasonings you put on it. A blank culinary canvas, cauliflower is on our menu nearly 3-4 times a week.
