Cauliflower has gained popularity in the past few years, now if you head to any produce market, you can find cauliflower in a variety of ways, including cauliflower rice and cauliflower mashed potatoes, the possibilities are endless. I have not made that as yet, but it is on my growing list of recipes, I want to try in the air fryer.

Let’s talk about cauliflower since many of us know very little about it.

• Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable, meaning that it is in the same family as arugula, broccoli, cabbage, broccoli rabe, bok choy, kale, collard greens, and Brussels sprouts
• The cruciferous family of vegetables has been more popular in recent years because scientists found that they hold cancer-fighting properties.
• Cauliflower has a lot of fiber, over 9 grams of fiber, but at the same time very low in calories.

Here are some hints on how to purchase cauliflower:

• Should be dense, the heavier the better.
• Leaves on fresh cauliflower are dark and green
• Florets should be tight
• No dark spots on the cauliflower, this shows that it is old, and should be avoided.
• The cauliflower’s stem should be white with no dark patches

 

Roasting cauliflower really brings out a nice nutty taste.  Adding a variety of spices really can change this bland vegetable into the star of your next meal.
