Ingredients & Substitutions
Cauliflower is such a versatile veggie, and when you roast it, the flavors just deepen. If you're looking for a substitute for nutritional yeast, you can use a sprinkle of vegan vegan cheese, but I find the yeast gives it that lovely cheesy taste without the heaviness. Olive oil is my go-to, but feel free to use avocado oil if that’s what you have on hand!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to serve these with a side of quinoa or a fresh salad — it’s a really filling meal.
- •If you find yourself with leftover herb mixture, it’s delicious drizzled over roasted veggies.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick — it really elevates the dish!
- •You could also swap out the herbs for fresh rosemary and basil if that’s what you have. Fresh herbs add such a vibrant flavor!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can easily reheat them in the oven or even in a toaster oven for that lovely crispiness!
