Fency Roasted Cauliflower

Fency Roasted Cauliflower

I truly recommend shopping your veggies in the farmers market,
Especially the cauliflower, it looks and tastes the best.
This beautiful dish looks like a flower decoration.

Note: the more dense the cauliflower the better it is,  when the cauliflower is big and open, it means that somebody picked it up too late, and the taste is not juicy and fulfilling.
