Behind the recipe

The story, tips & photos

That's not a very appealing-sounding choice, and not one most people naturally gravitate toward.

I was a picky eater growing up, let me tell you! But of all things, I do remember enjoying cauliflower. But why?

Well, my mother used to fry cauliflower. Makes sense now, right? Anything → fried tastes ridiculously good! What added an extra kick, though, was the fresh lemon juice we used to squeeze over the perfectly golden edges.

So I wanted to recreate that taste without frying anything. Have you ever tried roasting cauliflower?! Oh my goodness, you just HAVE to try this easy Roasted Cauliflower & Red Peppers!

Roasting locks in that nutty flavor, and the red peppers add a pop of color with a sweet touch. Lastly, the Zesty Italian Dressing Mix and lemon juice add a bright tang, making this side irresistible!

This side is so delicious, even my toddler loves it! Let's just say I'll be heading out to get another head of cauliflower as soon as possible.
