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...

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.

I roast it, I cut it up, add some extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper stick it in the oven at 425 for 20 mins, turn it, add some parmesan cheese and cook it for another 15-20 mins...it's very yummy and my kids will even eat it when I make it this way.0

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.0 -

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.0 -
Creamy Cauliflower Soup
In large pot:
Stir until onions translucent
1 tbsp butter
1 medium onion
3 tblsp parsley
1 clove garlic
Add and bring to a boil
1 box of salt free chicken stock (32 fl oz)
20 chopped Baby carrots
1 head cauliflower
1/4 tsp pepper
Purée mixture in blender (or with handheld blender in pot)
Add
1/2 to 1 cup fat free yoghurt
1/4 tsp ginger
Salt to taste
(I find this is pretty filling and it freezes very well. Also, if you like more carrots add them in. The reason I choose to use baby carrots is they are pre-peeled so it makes the prep even quicker - but if you don't have them I would use about 5 or size regular carrots peeled - they are sweeter when peeled).
You can also add puréed cauliflower to mac and cheese - but this would have to be on a gym day as it is a pretty high calorie meal with the pasta AND cheese in it.0 -

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.0 -

Butter and real cream cheese, believe it or not are better for you than the lf varieties or going with fake butter (not as processed). The potatoes are just something I am supposed to watch for carb reasons. That's why I noted this is a Wheat Belly receipe and is not right for all. My doctor recommends this for me. I am sure you could do this with reg potatoes and lf varieties if this is what you prefer.0 -

I'm trying it in the oven today. I used vegetable oil and McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning. The original recipe said salt and pepper.0
