I think cauliflower is in the same category as brussel sprouts. Two vegetables that are underrated and ones that many people shy away from when purchasing fresh vegetables. This head of cauliflower caught my eye when I saw it because it was orange and not the typical white variety. I thought what fun to try something new and came home to experiment. I sliced the head of cauliflower in three large slices and then sliced the remaining florets that were left. While the cauliflower was roasting I made a lemon dill sauce to serve with it. I had a hard time waiting to take this photo, I just wanted to dive in and eat it! Very unique and has an amazing taste. Try this the next time you are searching for a vegetable dish, I think you will be thrilled you did.
