Roasted cauliflower

The farmfreshtoyou.com site also delivered an organic cauliflower to me. Seriously I dont rally find any difference between organic and pesticide/fertilizer ridden vegetables. But yes, if the produce is fresh no matter how it us grown it tastes great

Anyway, I was searching for cauliflower recipes and the roasted cauliflower looked yummy. And it turned out great. The original recipe called for Parmesan cheese but I am not a big fan if Parmesan. So I used a heaped tablespoon of finely shredded mozzarella. And it is totally optional. The pieces which did not have cheese in them tastes just as yummy
