Roasted Cauliflower

I have a similar recipe in my cookbook, but those of you who do not have one, will love this! Cauliflower is on sale at Tops Market this week for $1.88. Now is the time to buy one and roast it up for Christmas. If you like your cauliflower more on the crunchy side, don't steam it. I like it steamed first. You get a softer result which is delicious!

1 head cauliflower, broken into small florets
2-3 T. olive oil
Salt & pepper
1 red pepper
1 small jalapeno pepper (opt.)

Steam cauliflower until crisp tender. Add oil and spices. Chop peppers in small food processor and add to cauliflower. Roast in 425° oven until tender, about 30 minutes, turning a couple times.

So, do I, Mary. I have one just waiting to be roasted and I love it so much I can eat the whole thing! Of course, cauliflower shrinks a little when roasted, so it's not as much as you'd expect.
