Roasted Cauliflower

Name: Roasted Cauliflower
Ingredients: 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets; 4 cloves garlic, skin on; 2 tbs olive oil; 1 tbs red wine vinegar

Cauliflower? On it’s own? Oh yeah!

Make sure you cook this hot enough to get some caramelization to happen. That’s the secret to making it not boring.

Serves 2 as a side.
