You won’t want to eat it any other way after trying this

Roast a whole head of cauliflower this way and you will tuck into a crispy on-the-outside but tender on-the-inside beautifully golden treat. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, serve it as is, or carve it up. Whichever way you choose, it won’t last long on the platter. This is my take on a method I first noticed described in the cookbook Ready or Not by Michelle Tam from Nom Nom Paleo. When I make it, even the kids come running!
