Low Carb Roasted Cauliflowers with Tomatoes recipe

Cauliflower is quite under-rated. It is not strong-tasting and probably quite forgettable as a vegetable. We hardly ate much cauliflower before we started on a low-carb lifestyle.

But cauliflower is great as rice replacement - it is low carb, full of fiber and very satiating. On top of that, it is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C. We have been including a lot more cauliflowers in our diets and are loving it.

Boiling or steaming cauliflower makes them waterlogged and mushy. I prefer to sauté or bake them instead.

This baked version in a casserole dish gives a delicious nutty roasted flavour while maintaining its crunch, and the tomatoes add some tanginess to it. A perfect side dish!
