Jackie's Health Tip of the Week 9/25/16
Cauliflower has been up and coming and the new "in" thing to avoid grains and gluten in pizza crust and as a replacement for rice!! One serving of cauliflower contains 77 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin C. It's also a good source of vitamin K, protein, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, magnesium, phosphorus, fiber, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid, potassium, and manganese. Below is one of the recipes I like to make with it! So easy and I love the salty taste! You can read more about the health benefits of cauliflower here: https://draxe.com/cauliflower/
Ingredients:
(all organic if possible)
1 head cauliflower
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt, to taste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Trim the head of cauliflower, discarding the core and thick
stems; cut florets into pieces about the size of ping-pong balls.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and salt, whisk, then
add the cauliflower pieces and toss thoroughly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup (you can
skip that, if you don't have any) then spread the cauliflower pieces on
the sheet and roast for 1 hour, turning 3 or 4 times, until most of each
piece has turned golden brown.
- (The browner the cauliflower pieces turn, the more
caramelization occurs and the sweeter they'll taste).
- Serve immediately.
