Why do we love cauliflower so much? I don’t know, it's just great taste and we need to accept that.
You need to make enough sauce to cover all sides of the cauliflower. Depending on the size of your cauliflower, you will need to make more or less sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 small cauliflower
- 2 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- Salt to taste
- 1 sprig rosemary
For Parsley Peanut Pesto:
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves
- 2 tablespoon peanuts
- 1 green chili
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon water (if needed)
- 1/2 lime
