Oven Roasted Lemon Cauliflower - ABSOLUTELY delicious!

NOTE: I only use Nusalt and Lite Salt because I am watching sodium and potassium.
You can definitely, use regular salt instead of salt substitutes :):):)

1) Preheat Oven to 450 degrees F
2) Wash and cut Cauliflower in bite sized pieces, dry thoroughly.
3) Place Cauliflower on large baking sheet so it does not overlap
4) Drizzle with 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, and Salt and pepper, mix to coat with clean hands.
5) Bake in hot oven, turning halfway through, for approx 20 min (until you see it starting to caramelize).
**I like it pretty well caramelized, but you can do it for less if you don't like slight charring.
6) Turn oven down to 375 degrees F
7) Transfer cooked cauliflower to stone baking dish (lasagne type dish), and add onions and garlic, and mix.
8) Bake at 375 degrees F for 5 minutes.
9) Top with Lemon Juice, Dry Toasted Pine Nuts and Parmigiano Reggiano (**USE GOOD PARM REG, not the shaker stuff), return to oven for 5 minutes longer.
10) ENJOY! This makes 2 servings.

TIP: If this is used as a meal, its yummy to add drained, rinsed DARK RED KIDNEY BEANS to it for added nutrition and protein.

    Hi! NuSalt is a salt substitute... you don't need to use it - you can just use salt, instead.
    I only use it because it is potassium chloride, which increases my potassium and decreases my sodium :)

    You can definitely just sub with regular salt :):)

    Oh - forgot to add ... you can use this recipe with almost any vegetable... it is YUMMY with Broccoli, too... the trick is the caramelization of the roasted vegis and using good Parm Reg :)

    Love this!! I roast my cauliflower all of the time, but never thought about adding the pine nuts and lemon. Can't wait to try this! Thanks so much! Might I recommend doing it with fennel? It's so incredibly good. I just slice mine into 1/2 inch slices, turning once and then adding the parm. Sooo yum!!

    Ohhhh - Yes - i love Fennel! This would be so good. I love roasted fennel. I usually use raclette cheese with it, but will have to try this recipe with it... maybe even add some sundried tomatoes... :):):)
