Whole30 Day 29: Whole Roasted Cauliflower

Nom Nom Paleo + Whole30 by Michelle Tam https://nomnompaleo.com

What should you cook on the penultimate day of your Whole30? Whole Roasted Cauliflower!

There’s nothing like a beautifully golden-crusted whole roasted cauliflower, people. Tender and almost meaty in texture, this cauliflower isn’t just visually enticing—it’s out-of-this-world delicious. Best of all, it’s cheap, easy to make, and satisfies folks of all dietary stripes—Whole30ers, Paleo peeps, omnivores, vegans, and even my picky kids!

By seasoning a whole roasted cauliflower head with just salt and olive oil, you’ll have yourself a blank slate that can be paired with your favorite sauces and herbs. I have a bunch of sauces in my Recipe Index you can choose from, like Arugula Pesto, Leon’s Caper and Anchovy Miracle Sauce, and Tonnato Sauce.

Or even better: Try drizzling a whole roasted cauliflower with the Hazelnut Garlic Sauce from my latest cookbook, Ready or Not! 150+ Make-Ahead, Make-Over, and Make-Now Recipes by Nom Nom Paleo! The warm, nutty flavors are a perfect complement to this incredible vegetable side dish.

Don’t you just want to stuff this in your mouth? ’Cause I sure do.
