Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon, Onion & Capers
If you're looking for a fresh and exciting way to elevate your roasted vegetables, this recipe is just what you need! Roasted vegetables are a staple in many kitchens, but they can sometimes feel a little one-dimensional if you stick to the same old seasoning routine. Enter this vibrant combo of onions, capers, and lemon—a flavor-packed trio that will totally transform your veggie game.
While this combination works wonders on cauliflower, it’s incredibly versatile and can be used with a variety of other vegetables too. Let’s dive into the details of this easy and flavorful recipe!
But a reminder- feel free to get creative and make this recipe your own! If capers aren’t your thing, try swapping them for tomatoes or olives instead. Or, switch it up entirely and experiment with a new seasoning for your cauliflower—my assistant Annie swears by adding nutritional yeast and turmeric. The possibilities are endless, so have fun with it!
