Apparently, my little foodie in training thought roasted cauliflower looked like a great snack to nosh on while watching Yo Gabba Gabba. She swiped it off the counter, and settled in with Muno and friends. I'm not complaining, mind you. Any time you can get your kids to eat their vegetables, without smothering them with copious amounts of cheese or breading, is a good thing. Yes, this roasted cauliflower is quite likely to become a family favorite recipe, in our home.
