Author Notes: Ever had a guest or friend say, well I really don’t like “vegetable xyz” or “vegetables are so boring”….. Well, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Roast them and you will turn any naysayer into a believer. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness in vegetables and fruits producing a deeper flavor, and an oh so perfect texture.
This is a simple recipe that just needs a little love from the toasty oven. The fresh rosemary blends with the crispy bits of cauliflower and the grapes that shrink into sweetness. It’s the perfect addition to many main dishes like braised chicken, a grilled pork loin, or a vegetarian lasagna. Make it for your next dinner party and it’ll be the star of the show. —Amanda Paa | Heartbeet Kitchen
