I'm a human being on planet earth. I've lived hundreds of lifetimes. In this incarnation I'm here to advance medicine.

This is one of my go-to veggie side dishes for those nights I don’t feel like putting much energy into preparing an elaborate accompaniment to the main course.

A cinch to prepare, this cauliflower emerges from the oven tender with a crisp exterior. The key to achieving the caramelization is cutting the cauliflower into thick slices – rather than florets – in order to expand the surface area that makes contact with the hot baking sheet. Any type of accoutrement (a grating of fresh parmesan cheese perhaps) would be a welcomed addition to the roasted cauliflower, but it is quite delicious unadorned.

If you think you don’t like cauliflower, I would bet money that this cooking technique will change your mind!
