I love roasted cauliflower and this combo with the chopped dates, fresh rosemary, and Pine Nuts sounds so delicious! So easy and packed with flavor there’s no reason not to give it a try!
What is it about roasting veggies that makes them taste totally different…and I end up eating an entire head of cauliflower in one sitting 🙂 could be worse
Roasted cauliflower is one of my favorite things. I’ve never though to pair it with dates, but it sounds wonderful! Love how easy it is too!
I used to *always* have pine nuts on hand in the kitchen! But now It’s been forever since I’ve used them to cook with, i DEFINITELY need to remedy that asap!
Gorgeous! Love all the flavors and textures going on here. 🙂
Clever blend of flavours. A nice balance of nuttiness and sweetness, i bet. I cannot wait to give these a shot. Thank you for sharing!
