This Roasted Cauliflower Recipe Gets Everything Right

Not to brag, but I roast a lot of vegetables. Okay, most people wouldn’t count that as a, but I’m proud to count creamy sweet potatoes and crispy carrots as key parts of my diet. When I’m really on my game, they’re even part of my patent-pending Midnight Meal Prep routine. But once I tried this

, all those root vegetables became a distant memory. Cheesy, confidently-caramelized, and goosed up with a briny-tart dressing, it hits alllllll the notes. Here’s what makes this version better than the rest.Instead of snapping off each floret, you slice the whole cauliflower head into neat planks. This increases the amount of cauliflower making contact with the sheet tray, creating more caramelization, charring, and crisping.

Despite my earlier bragging about being a roasted vegetable pro, I rarely think about making a sauce to put on them. And while I’m still not above a last minute drizzle of straight-up Sriracha or tahini, this recipe's bright and briny lemon-caper dressing is exactly what a plate of cheesy cauliflower needs. You simply whisk together chopped capers, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt, but it is just the thing you want as a foil to those deep, rich, roast-y flavors.

This cauliflower is the perfect addition to any grain bowl or salad, but it’s surprisingly versatile. Use the leftovers in a or a next-level vegetarian sandwich. Or take a page out of my book and eat them cold, standing over the kitchen counter and marveling at how delicious roasted cauliflower can be.If the roasted vegetables you make at home tend to emerge from the oven flabby and pale, you might be cooking them at the wrong temperature and in the wrong position. The best way to achieve browning is to roast vegetables toward the bottom of a blazing hot oven .

I just made this and ate half of it off the roasting pan. No regrets.

Yum! Everything is better with capers.

I just don't tolerate cauliflower very well unless it's in an Indian dish.
