You gotta give it to cauliflower - they've really come into their own in recent years. They can be anything! But to me there are few better ways to eat cauliflower than roasted and glazed.
This simple cauliflower dish is rich, sweet, and a great side for anything you have planned. It takes less than 10 minutes of active prep time, with another 15-20 minutes to roast. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
A quick side dish that makes cauliflower much less boring and a joy to eat.

Vegan butter and coconut sugar, is that for Julia's diet requirements? I assume I can use more readily available dairy butter and regular sugar or would turbinado more closely approximate the unrefined quality of palm sugar?

Here's something you don't need me to tell you, but I'm telling you anyway: You get to choose whether you want to paint your ceiling or not! But, still, almost daily, I get asked "Why don't you paint that ceiling the color of the walls?" If you've never tried painting a ceiling and you're considering […]
I'm back at it today with the Asian-inspired flavors. I always seem to lean that way in my recipes, but why would I use less flavor when I can fill my kitchen with the scent of ginger, garlic, and chilies?! Thai Basil Beef is one of my all-time favorite things to order for takeout. What […]

While I don't consider myself a perfectionist, I do like things neat—most of the time. It's important to me that my home is beautiful and lived in. I want it filled with laughter, joy, and life. If that means a few nicks and spills? That's fine with me. Even so, over the years of home […]

Yes, it would!
Reminds me of Gobi Manchurian only healthier since it's not fried! Looks amazing. I'm going to try this on the weekend. Thanks for the recipe.
Vegan butter and coconut sugar, is that for Julia's diet requirements? I assume I can use more readily available dairy butter and regular sugar or would turbinado more closely approximate the unrefined quality of palm sugar?
Yes! This recipe was modified for our family, but regular butter and sugar work!
Hey! Looks good. I know you’ve used vegan butter in other recipes, but I have never a seem vegan butter in sticks. Which brand did you use?!
