Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Pepper and Thyme - Foodness Gracious (5)

This has been such a fun week catching some snow time in Utah. Every year we take a trip just to make sure our bodies can still switch from being in their forties to being a teenager again. I swear, I'm aching in places that I never knew I had muscles. If you follow my Instagram stories you might have seen me shredding in a snowmobile or flying down a mountain in an inner tube! But let's talk about roasted cauliflower! This recipe is for all of the people who proclaimed 2017 as the year to eat more vegetables. I know some of you did, get those hands in the air! Well, It doesn't have to be difficult or cost a bunch of dollars. In fact veggies are usually pretty cheap and they can go a long way to feeding a family.

I cannot lie but cooking them is super easy. If you check any of my vegetable recipes nearly all of them will be roasted because it's not just me that loves them this way, the kids do to! Cauliflower is such an awesome veggie cooked many ways like my Blackened Spiced Cauliflower Steaks, but roasting it for me is the best. All you need is olive oil and don't be shy with it, your favorite spice or seasoning and fresh herbs. This recipe would be fantastic just as whole cauliflower but who wouldn't love to dip those big florets into a sauce? Ummm, like a super tasty honey mustard sauce with more fresh thyme leaves.
