Roasted Winter Vegetables with Cheesy Polenta
Creamy polenta laced with sharp Parmigiano-Reggiano makes a savory bed for sweet roasted vegetables. Butternut squash and cauliflower florets are called for, but you could vary the combination of roasted vegetables depending on the season or your cravings at the moment. Complete the meal with a salad of assertive winter greens.
Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
Roasting isn't usually the first cooking method you think of for cauliflower but the results are quite delicious. The florets are cut into thick slices and tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and herbs. Wherever the flat surfaces come into contact with the hot roasting pan, a deep browning occurs that results in a sweet, nutty flavor.
Skillet Cauliflower Gratin
Nonfat milk and a bit of sharp Cheddar combine to make a rich sauce without all the butter usually found in gratins.
Cheddar Cauliflower Soup
Start your meal off with a bowl of this satisfying, easy cheesy cauliflower soup.
Roasted Cauliflower with Blue Cheese Vinaigrette
Cauliflower roasted in big chunks is delicious and the quick blue cheese vinaigrette makes it special. Try it as a side dish for steak.
Cauliflower with Lemon & Olives
Tangy lemon and briny olives perk up simple steamed cauliflower.
Sautéed Cauliflower & Grape Tomatoes
This Italian-inspired saute of cauliflower and tomatoes spiked with anchovies, garlic and vinegar pairs well with white fish or roasted chicken.
Healthy and versatile cauliflower recipes to enjoy all season long.
Who would’ve thought that lowly cauliflower, so often hidden under a blanket of cheese sauce, could be elevated to “hot veggie” status? Cauliflower is making a comeback on the menus of family-style restaurants and high-brow eateries alike as an alternative to the higher-carb potato.
Boasting a mere 29 calories per cup, and a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and fiber, cauliflower deserves its newfound status as a go-to vegetable for side dishes, salads and as part of flavorful stews and main dishes.
In Creamy Cauliflower Puree, it produces the creamy texture of mashed potatoes; Roasted Florets yields a nutty flavor; and it adds plenty of crunch when eaten raw in Creamy Chopped Cauliflower Salad. We’ve got a variety of recipes to choose from, including a lightened cheese-sauce-topped Skillet Cauliflower Gratin—still a favorite way to enjoy cauliflower!
