Roasted Apples Cauliflower With Dill

The magic of roasted vegetables was one of my favorite discoveries when we first started exploring cooking. I didn’t love raw cauliflower at the time, but roasted was a whole different matter: rich, almost buttery goodness that I couldn’t help myself from snitching off the roasting pan. Can roasted vegetables be considered a gateway drug to eating nutritious foods? Eating them is one of my earliest memories of realizing healthy foods can be utterly delicious. And speaking of delicious, this roasted apples and cauliflower recipe makes vegetables taste like candy. Our favorite cauliflower recipe? Perfect Roasted Cauliflower

Making roasted apples & cauliflower

This roasted apples with cauliflower and dill recipe is an old favorite of ours that we first made as a Thanksgiving cauliflower recipe! It’s so, so flavorful: the sweet red onions and apples are the perfect contrast to savory cauliflower, punctuated by the refreshing, aromatic fresh dill. It’s a family favorite, for sure. If you do try it, make sure to get a hold of some fresh dill; it will likely have to be store-bought since the growing season is over by now in Indiana, but it’s absolutely worth it for the splurge. Roasted apples and cauliflower is a flavorful, sweet and savory side dish that works for various diets (vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free). This recipe takes about 50 minutes to prepare, but the time is mostly hands off. And for the flavor, it’s worth every minute of the wait. We also love the way the colors turn out: the purple of the onion, the almost bright pink of the roasted apple, and the green of the fluffy dill fronds.
