Cauliflower roasted with pine nuts and golden raisins adds a bit of sweetness to an already delicious way to cook cauliflower. If you haven’t tried roasting cauliflower, give this recipe a try, it will win you over.
After making all of Taylor’s favorite comfort foods for the last month, I was searching for something a little lighter to go with dinner. Nana was riding in the car with me to Pinehurst and I had her look through a new cookbook I had picked up to see what she could find. We decided we would try this recipe as it didn’t look like it took too much effort and I liked the idea of golden raisins.
We were right, this was super easy. While we thought it would be good, I wasn’t prepared for how the slightly sweet raisins and garlic complimented the roasted cauliflower. We all loved this so much that there was not a crumb left in the bowl. Even Nana was crazy about it. Who would have thought to add raisins to cauliflower. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. We will be making it a lot this summer.
