Roasted Cauliflower

As a mother and as a human being in general I am always trying to add more vegetables to our meals.  Often I am lucky enough to make a recipe which is largely vegetable in base and I in those cases do not have to worry about a side dish.  More often than not our main dishes are made up of primarily starch foods and therefore I feel compelled to serve a vegetable on the side.  My standard side is roasted broccoli, but honestly there is only so much broccoli on person can take. 

I decided to stay away from broccoli and try some other vegetables.  Not being one to stay from too far from the norm, I picked Cauliflower.  I have shared a mashed cauliflower with you the past and it turned out to have been on the Veggie Dad's favorite dishes, but this time I thought I would roast the cauliflower.
