Cauliflower roasted in big chunks is delicious and the quick blue cheese vinaigrette makes it special. Try it as a side dish for steak.

Ingredients

Directions

  • Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

  • Cut cauliflower into quarters. Remove any extra woody core from the ends, but keep the quarters intact. Brush with 2 teaspoons oil and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Place cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Roast the cauliflower for 15 minutes. Turn so the opposite cut sides are down. Continue roasting until tender, 15 to 20 minutes more.

  • Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, blue cheese, vinegar, water, scallion greens and pepper in a small bowl. Serve the roasted cauliflower drizzled with the vinaigrette.

Tips

Easy cleanup: Recipes that require cooking spray can leave behind a sticky residue that can be hard to clean. To save time and keep your baking sheet looking fresh, line it with a layer of foil before you apply the cooking spray.

This was soooo good! I really like the big chunks of cauliflower that you get to put on your plate - the presentation is fabulous. I forgot to buy green onions to sprinkle on top - and I KNOW I missed out on a seriously great flavor combination - I won't forget next time I make this! This is a great cauliflower recipe. Read More

Parboil the cauliflower before roasting This is a delicious and easy recipe. Everybody I have served it to has loved it. My suggestion is to parboil the cauliflower before roasting. I break the cauliflower into its florets and then parboil big chunks for 7 minutes medium chunks for 5 minutes and small chunks for 3 minutes. Drain and roast according to instructions (I still roast it for 30 - 40 minutes even after parboiling). Read More

This was a delicious recipe. I love roasted cauliflower. The blue cheese vinaigrette gave it a nice tang. I served the vinaigrette on the side. I had enough for y lunch the next day and it was still good. Read More

Roasting vegetables always adds to their flavor and although I am a great fan of blue cheese I did not think this flavor went that well with the cauliflower. Read More

I thought it was really yummy. The only substitutions I made were extra pepper. I used gorgonzola cheese instead of blue and white balsamic vinegar instead of white white. These were what I had on hand. Read More
