I am a fan of cauliflower, but I run into the issue of getting bored with it easily. I roast it constantly because it gets so golden and crispy, but after the hundredth sheet pan of the same salt and pepper florets, it starts giving nothing. But one way I love to freshen cauliflower up is through gremolata!

Gremolata is an Italian condiment of sorts where you mix together minced herbs, garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. It is a great way to brighten up vegetables, chicken, seafood, and more. I even like to mix in parmesan to make it even better. But when tossed with cauliflower right out of the oven, the cauliflower becomes 10x better.

It is a simple way to wake up cauliflower and make it much more interesting, and actually delicious! Plus it is healthy, which is always a win. If you have been bored with your vegetables, give this a try!

Key Ingredients & Substitutions:

• Cauliflower – The star of the dish. Broccoli or romanesco work great too.
• Garlic – Rounds out the gremolata. Adjust to your preference.
• Lemon – Adds bright zest and acidity. Orange zest is an awesome swap for a sweeter version. Only use fresh citrus here.
• Parmesan Cheese – Adds salty, umami richness. Pecorino Romano is a great substitute.
• Parsley – Adds a fresh, herby finish. You can use any delicate herb of choice here like basil or chives.
• Olive Oil – You can also use avocado oil here.
