This year, I decided to give cauliflower another try. I’m growing them in the same garden where I grew broccoli and cucumbers last year. And I have frozen some of them to use in the winter, and it was an amazing idea.

My baked cauliflowers, the ultimate comfort food for all courses, are a healthy alternative to other fried foods. But did you know that cauliflower is a member of the broccoli family and can be enjoyed in many forms? From steamed cauliflower to cauliflower mashed potatoes, the possibilities for using cauliflower are endless, but today is all about cauliflowers in the oven.

This baked cauliflower is so good, it tastes like chicken, and it has less calories per serving than usual!

What goes best with the baked cauliflowers?

So if I don’t know what to eat tonight, I’m sure I’ll have some leftover cauliflower. But when I made a baked version, I discovered a delicious new side dish that’s just as healthy as the green stuff but tastes a whole lot better. The combination of cauliflower and lemons is delicious; they really make a good pair together. And since it’s the perfect side dish for meat, I highly recommend giving it a try with some beef or pork.

On the other hand, I am sure you will love the yoghurt sauce I have shared in the recipe, but if you are not a yoghurt fan, you can simply go with mayonnaise too. Another novel idea is to melt some cheese on your baked cauliflowers!
