This recipe for Roasted Rainbow Cauliflower Potatoes and Garlic is an easy side dish that can be made any night of the week. Made with purple, green and golden cauliflower, it’s elegant enough for company as a holiday side dish.
I’ve been making these Roasted Garlic Cauliflower and Potatoes ever since my brother-in-law introduced them to our family years ago at Christmas time. I still remember when he made them for the first time for my family. My brother-in-law is an amazing guy, probably one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet, plus he cooks…how awesome is that!
He, my sister-in-law, and their two beautiful daughters have spent every Christmas with our family, as far back as I can remember. We are so fortunate to have them in our lives. They’ve been with us through thick and thin, and I feel so blessed to have them. Although they live in another city, at the drop of a dime, when we have needed them, they have driven to our home in the middle of the night. That is family.
So, each Christmas, we take turns cooking dinner. Thankfully, my brother-in-law is a great cook, so he always offers to make one of the dinners during their stay with our family. The year he made these Roasted Garlic Cauliflower and Potatoes, I was a bit worried. I had never made cauliflower for my boys, fearful that they’d spit it out. So, I couldn’t believe it when my eldest son (who is the pickiest eater out of the bunch) declared how good this was. He’s the pickiest vegetable eater out of all four of my boys, so I was thrilled that he loved this cruciferous vegetable.
Ever since, I have made Roasted Cauliflower on a regular basis, and am so glad that my brother-in-law introduced my family to this easy preparation of a super healthy vegetable. You can learn more about cauliflower and its health benefits in my original post with this recipe.
This simple dish is elevated by using a variety of naturally vibrant cauliflower ~ purple, green and golden cauliflower as well as purple and white potatoes from the farmer’s market. I love it when nature provides a rainbow of colorful vegetables that can be simply prepared yet make such a statement.
