roasted cauliflower and carrot mash
I’ve never really been a huge fan of raw cauliflower. Its texture reminds me of what it might be like to snack on those packing peanuts that used to come in UPS boxes. To me, there’s no other vegetable transformation quite like that of roasting cauliflower, and as it turns out, cooking it a little bit actually makes it healthier and easier to digest.
Raw cruciferous vegetables contain enzymes that are goitrogenic, meaning they can potentially impair thyroid function, especially if your thyroid is not in optimal condition. But by adding a little heat, the amount of goitrogens is significantly decreased, while a cancer fighting compound called indole is formed. Maybe it’s no coincidence cauliflower that’s spent some time in the oven is so tasty.
Sounds great. I often do a simple cauliflower mash with stock and butter, but yours sounds much much better.
It’s not that I want to duplicate your web site, but I really like the style and design. Could you tell me which design are you using? Or was it custom made?
Custom made
Looks delicious and I really want to try it! But is it more of a side dish – like mashed potatoes – or more like a spread/dip?
we eat is as a side dish!
Thanks!!
