This concept struck me one morning when I was eating a bowl of oats with pineapple and walnuts on top after steaming some carrots. I wanted to blend the two at once and add a few additional spices from some delectable sweets. This is how oatmeal came to be.

This is a great base recipe to make your own. I add additional vegetables, broccoli, carrots, Brussels, lots of whole cloves of garlic, cherry tomatoes, whatever I have on hand that will hold up in the oven. I don’t necessarily measure, just season and mix in a big bowl, then let it marinate at room temp, the longer the better. Delicious hot or cold, the next day, whenever. I’ve made this dozens of times and am never disappointed.
Great recipe guide, but incorporated the readers comments. For my small head of cauliflower, next time I would increase olive oil and balsamic vinegar to 3 tbl each. Maybe consider one more clove of garlic. Marinated for 30 min minimum…mmmmm 3 adults devoured within 7 minutes upon ‘almost’ cooling….delicious.
Very tasty
Good, lots of flavour
I am always looking for a new cauliflower recipe. This is quick, easy and healthy. Love it
Cauliflower can be pretty boring but this preparation changes the game. I didn’t change anything and was pleased with the results as was the family. Will definitely make and serve again.
The only variation I made to the recipe was to chop the garlic coarsely instead of finely because of some of the comments that the garlic will burn. I was glad I did. Also, I had two types of balsamic vinegar on hand; generic and a nice one. Because of one of the comments, I went with the nicer one and it was delicious!
The taste was really surprising! Very flavorful and tender. Definitely will make it again!
It worked out well. Next time I will cut the pieces a little smaller though
OMG. I loved this recipe. Never been a huge fan of cauliflower but this was amazing. I added my own little twist when serving. I drizzled a cabernet balsamic glaze on it. Divine!
My wife and I really enjoyed this recipe. I made it just as described. I’m not much of a cauliflower fan, but this simple, easy, quick recipe made a great tasting veggie.
We love both balsamic and roasted cauliflower so I knew that we would like this recipe. I cut the portions back to two. I found that the balsamic didn’t come through as much a I would have liked.
I made this dish for a sunday afternoon potluck dinner. I marinated it all in a bag for 4 hours then roasted it. It needed some more flavor–& I could have added fresh rosemary, as well as other veggies (after reading another review). I’ll be making it again as even seasoned as it was it was good!
They taste great, but marinating them for an hour made them even better. Great tip from other reviewers.
Just love this veggie dish!!,
Excellent! Converted a cooked cauliflower man. He’ll eat it! Woohoo!
This recipe has all the characteristics I like in a recipe – it is very good, has ingredients which are readily available, and is incredibly easy to make. The only things I did differently, after reading the reviews, were to marinate the cauliflower for about an hour and to increase the garlic, as we love it with roasted veggies. I also love Indian cauliflower, my husband not so much, so we generally alternate these recipes during the cauliflower season.
I did take the suggestion and marinated them for a bit. They had a very good flavor and were easy to make. Nice change from my usual cauliflower recipe.
Awesome dish, I used it with purple cauliflower, the color combo was awesome.
Amazing… even better with balsamic vinegar! I’ll never boil it again
Will definitely make this again! The balsamic I used had a slightly syrupy consistency and it stuck to the cauliflower very nicely–no marinating needed. Very simple and its sweetness was a great compliment to the ham I served with it.
