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!

We're not vegan and don't have any dietary restrictions. Would this recipe work with regular butter and sugar?
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?!
