Roasting brings out the flavor of many vegetables, including cauliflower. I usually roast cauliflower with chopped onions, garlic, salt, and olive oil, and place some Parmesan cheese on it when it's done. So here's a departure from my usual roast cauliflower dish. This could be a great side dish, or an alternative to stuffing. Or you can even add croutons or crackers (like Parmesan croutons or Parmesan Thyme Crackers) to this recipe for a very different take on stuffing.
I meant to add celery to this dish (in the frying pan portion of the method) but completely forgot. I was so focused on the raisins and onions caramelizing in the frying pan that I became distracted (I guess I shouldn't cook on an empty stomach). Two other ingredients that would go well with this dish are diced mushrooms and roasted walnuts.

Great recipe! I had a last minute idea to add apples - really added a bit of sweetness! Thanks for the amazing dish.

This recipe is wonderful!! Thanks so much. Made it once and my husband loves it, so do I. Going to make it again today for the second time. I usually don't like cauliflower but I will eat it this way anyday 🙂

Very tasty. I added some slivered almonds and cayenne pepper and it was a hit with my vegetarian son. It's good to have an easy, good recipe like this when you don't have much time.

Nice additions. I just made this using broccoli and string beans in place of cauliflower and it turned out equally well.
