Roasted Cauliflower

So.App.Mtns., United States(Zone 5b)

I made this last night. It was wonderful, but I'll make a change or two when I make it again. For one thing, the sauce is just 2 tablespoons, half dijon mustard and half water. The cauliflower absorbed the sauce on several florets before I could get it equally distributed by tossing. I'd probably make more sauce, perhaps 2X the dijon and 3-4X the water. I'd also make sure the quartered onions have enough root to hold them together.

Roasted Cauliflower
Mellow, slightly sweet roasted garlic and onions round out the flavor of cauliflower.

1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
