Yes, I have roasted cauliflower whole and in chunks but never roasted it riced. Usually I make stir fry "rice" out of it. Last night I made a "risotto" with reconstituted shitake mushrooms and the liquid and sauteed fresh crimini mushrooms, garlic and onions, along with a quinoa, farro and rice blend from Aldi that I had previously cooked another evening. It was fabulous.

Almost any veggie is delicious roasted.

Thanks for the Deborah Madison Vegetarian book recommendation. Every recipe so far is a hit.

I'm roasting cauliflower now and can barely wait for it to cook! I just tasted a small piece and it is yummy. I may have found a new snack food.

I have been roasting it with a sprinkle of salt and curry powder. I may have eaten an entire head for dinner the other night.  :sneaking:

That is what I had last night, too. Very tasty.  I have Brussels sprouts for tonight.

This looks really good. I never roasted riced cauliflower before but I'm going to try this one.

Made this, ate it all up. No parsley available so skipped it.

Basically, roasted cauliflower, cauliflower soup, ginger zucchini soup (which is basically a bunch of chopped zucchini cooked in your choice of broth (no-chicken for me) and pureed.

My go-to-don't-have-time-to-think meal is to make a small amount of pasta and mix it into a bit pot of sauteed bell pepper, onion, and whatever else I have on hand, add some diced tomatoes and cannelini beans and top with parmesan cheese.

DBF really likes root vegetables and keeps trying to push them onto me. While I use beets and carrots for other reasons, dishes where root vegetables take center stage always seem starchy and boring  :D

Dreena Burton has a great recipe where, in a casserole pan, you put a layer of cooked quinoa, then on top a layer of hummus and on top roasted vegetables. Mostly root vegetables, but you can use any mix of veggies. If your BF likes roasted root vegs, try roasted radishes!

I guess I wonder how you get the "rice" to stick together?

Hehe glad you liked it!

I bought some Harissa seasoning and it is soooooo good on my roasted slices of Kabocha.
