Pesto Roasted Cauliflower
April 23, 2013
Where has this year gone? I seriously can’t believe that it is about to be May. We have every weekend until the middle of June planned out!
I will be attending two food blogging conferences in the upcoming months plus our family vacation. Not too excited about fitting into a swimsuit, but I’m ready to take little Olivia swimming. She has two swimsuits, a cover-up, a white hat, and some cute heart sunglasses. You can say that I am one proud mama.
This weekend we were able to spend some time at home getting the house ready for guests in the upcoming weeks. We also managed to do some family grocery time at our local Sprouts Farmer’s Market. It’s a new store that opened up this last week, and I am already in love with the fresh produce and meat selections.
While I was there, I managed to buy A LOT of produce. They had four cauliflower heads for $5.00.That is just insane. Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables, and I prefer it to be roasted. Oddly enough, I have a strange addiction to anything pesto at the moment, so I had to add some to the cauliflower to try it out.

GREAT idea, Meagan. I love pesto. I never think to roast cauliflower. Need to change that!
I always forget about cauliflower! I’ve got to try this!
Such a great idea! Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables too!
This is a genius idea!! I love pesto and this just totally makes sense. I need to make this!
Sprouts is my favorite. That’s the only place I get our produce.
And pesto on roasted cauliflower? Perfect.
This looks fantastic! For some reason I have never thought of roasting cauliflower – which seems silly now, as this recipe looks so naturally straight forward! Can’t wait to try it!
Oh how I love roasted cauliflower – what a deal!
I also can’t believe April is almost over. This year is crazy fast!
I love roasted cauliflower! The addition of pesto is perfect!

I, too, loooove cauliflower!! This sounds so freakin’ good!
Wow, that price for cauliflower is incredible, ours has been pricey & not looking to great lately.
This looks so delicious!! I need to add it to the cauliflower roundup I just put up this week, great recipe!
What a bummer! I’m loving our new Sprouts store and all the great produce.
Oh! What a great idea. I always roast my cauliflower (it’s my favorite vegetable), but adding pesto is brilliant.
Simple and delicious. Used Costco Kirkland pesto and the kids loved this!
This recipe can be served as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or a salad, or as a vegetarian main course with a side of roasted vegetables or quinoa.
I’m going to try it!
