I am always looking for interesting and easy ways to fix common vegetables. You just get tired of steaming them for every meal. This recipe is from Taste of Home, and I love roasted vegetables. If you have never roasted your vegetables try it you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is.


Ingredients:

• 6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon capers, drained and coarsely chopped
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°. Cut stem ends off unpeeled garlic cloves. Wrap cloves in a piece of foil. Bake 25-30 minutes or until cloves are soft. Unwrap and cool to room temperature. Squeeze garlic from skins. Mash with a fork.
• 2. Meanwhile, in a small heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Heat 5-7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
