3-Ingredient Roasted Cauliflower

I tried roasted cauliflower for the first time recently and Oh. My. Goodness! This method of cooking cauliflower has changed the way I think about this somewhat bland yet versatile cruciferous vegetable. It can be used as a substitute for everything from pizza crust to mashed potatoes to rice. And with just 30-75 calories (depending on how much oil is used for roasting) for 1 cup of cooked cauliflower is a low-calorie, high-fiber tasty option. This will soon be a go-to staple side-dish in my house! Even if you don't normally like cauliflower I encourage you to try this!
