just because you take out potatoes doesn't make that good for you...butter and cream cheese? "Real" kind?

No thanks.

Just tried roasted cauliflower the other day..it was delicious and i hate cauliflower lol

Take a couple of cups of cauliflower two tablespoons of soy sauce a a tablespoon of olive oil teaspoon of sugar and a half teaspoon of black pepper.
Mix all those in a big bowl and marinate for 20 minutes stirring it once halfway through.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees...lay the cauliflower out on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes...
If u leave ot in much longer it will get too soft. Great snack. 2 weight watchers points per serving!

my favorite recipe.....

Ingredients
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets, about 4 cups
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted - I substitue for olive oil
1 tablespoon Frank's Red Hot Original, plus more to taste
1/2 cup sour cream - I use plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise - I use homemade mayo
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
3 ounces good-quality blue cheese (such as Roquefort), crumbled

Procedures
1
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt. Roast, turning once halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender browned in spots, about 35 minutes.

2
Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, and blue cheese in a small food processor or blender and pulse until combined. Alternatively, in a small bowl, stir all ingredients together with a fork, breaking up any large chunks of blue cheese as you go.

3
Mix together the melted butter and Frank's Red Hot in a large bowl. Add the cauliflower and toss to combine. Serve the immediately with blue cheese dressing.

Great Cauliflower recipes!! Thanks for sharing!!

Bump. Great ideas here!

Roast it in a pan in the oven with a bit of oil, salt and maybe garlic powder. Roast for about an hour on 350 and it's soooo YUMMY!!! I do this with all veggies and they are to die for. Sweet potatoe, turnip, cauliflower, broccoli, green beens & brussel sprouts.

This ^^^.
I use parchment paper in a dark enamel (shallow) roasting pan--easy clean-up!
I use olive oil, fresh cracked pepper, sea salt, wedges of onion and sometimes rosemary or another herb. Roasting caramelizes the veggies...yum.

bump Love cauliflower! I've had it mashed , roasted, riced! always looking for new recipes!!

I've tried that "better than mashed potatoes"... it is so good! And I love mashed potatoes.

Here's a cauliflower soup I made a couple of weeks ago, it was super tasty!

* 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
* 2 tablespoons oil
* salt and pepper to taste
* 1 tablespoon oil
* 1 medium onion, diced
* 2 cloves garlic, chopped
* 1 tablespoon thyme, chopped
* 3 cups vegetable broth
* 1 1/2 cups aged white cheddar, shredded
* 1 cup cream (or milk, if you're fat-averse)
* salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Toss the cauliflower florets in the oil along with the salt and pepper and arrange them in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
2. Roast the cauliflower in a preheated 400F oven until lightly golden brown, about 20-30 minutes.
3. Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat.
4. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add the garlic and thyme and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
6. Add the broth and cauliflower, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
7. Puree the soup until it reaches your desired consistency with a stick blender.
8. Mix in the cheese, let it melt and season with salt and pepper.
9. Mix in the cream and remove from heat.

No thanks.

Everything in moderation though right? Nothing wrong with butter as long as you don't eat all the butter ever. Also, when you are cooking there is often no substitute for the original ingredient as it adds to the flavour and blends well with other things. A discussion on another thread was mentioning how roast chicken cooked on the bone and in the skin tastes nicer than cooking breasts on their own (which need a lot of extra work to give them flavour) - so long as you remove the skin prior to eating or using it as an ingredient you get the flavour and not the bad stuff. There is no reason to not have a healthy perspective on cooking things so they taste good - but remembering that you can't go crazy. You can find substitutes that are still good options and then use the more flavourful version of something and track it.
