4 Ways to Roast Cauliflower

Leafy greens get so much good press that it's easy to let cauliflower lurk in the shadows, shielded by its own leaves. (That's why it's so pale.) But this liltingly sweet cruciferous vegetable is no shrinking violet. 

Like its close cousins broccoli and kale, cauliflower boasts plenty of antioxidant, cancer-fighting, and heart-healthy properties.

Plus, it's chock-full of folate -- crucial for women of child-bearing age -- and luteins, which encourage eye and artery health and supple skin. With recipes this simple and delicious, we think you'll agree: Cauliflower deserves its moment in the sun.
