Recipe: Sesame Glazed Cauliflower

A unique twist on cauliflower, this Sesame Glazed Cauliflower makes for a simple and tasty side dish.

Can I still call this Sesame Glazed Cauliflower if I didn’t add the sesame seeds?

I think so.

And so it was.

I am on an endless journey to find a cauliflower recipe that my kids will like. I have come close, but so far, no cigar.

So it’s a darn good thing that I eat cauliflower.

And you do too.

I hope?

Did you know the going rate for a reasonably-sized head of cauliflower is $4.99?

Crazytown.

But in the grand scheme of things, you will likely have all the other ingredients on hand, so $5 for a side dish that can feed a small nation is not a bad thing.

But it’s true.

And, in theory, it’s cheaper because the recipe only calls for half a head of cauliflower, so now the side dish is down to $2.50.

Even better.

Mix a handful of ingredients in a bowl. Add your chopped cauliflower. Mix to coat. Roast in oven. Mix. Roast some more.

And eat.

It really is that simple.

And what do you get in return? Bites of cauliflower that give your mouth a one way ticket to Flavor Town.

Yes, I really did just become Guy Fieri for a second there.

But, for real. Every bite is so packed with flavor, you might almost not even realize you’re eating cauliflower.

Which, for some people, is a very good thing indeed.
