Oven Weather
October 1, 2009
It was in the mid-50s today, but overcast, so it felt much chillier than it should have. These first cool days of fall have everyone running to their closets for jackets and extra blankets (I needed to put on socks — my tile floors are freezing). What I like best about this weather is I don’t hesitate to turn on my oven, because I welcome it heating up the house a little bit.
The cauliflower is from the supermarket, but the broccoli comes from this week’s farm share. Jodi had recently mentioned to me that she’d been roasting cauliflower, and that reminded me of how much I love this preparation: a sprinkle of olive oil, salt, and garlic powder, then roasted at 400° F until the florets are as brown as you want them to be. Roasting remains my favorite way to cook a vegetable.

I love roasting cauliflower, too. I think sometimes it tastes like popcorn!
Have you ever done green beans? Delicious.
