You gotta give it to cauliflower – they’ve really come into their own in recent years. They can be anything! But to me there are few better ways to eat cauliflower than roasted and glazed.
This simple cauliflower dish is rich, sweet, and a great side for anything you have planned. It takes less than 10 minutes of active prep time, with another 15-20 minutes to roast. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

looking for inspiration?
Almost daily I get asked what I would call my home style. I don’t like to box myself in, but I definitely lean Modern Traditional with an emphasis on comfort when it comes to our home. This especially came up when I shared our Powder Bath Reveal on the blog. I think it changes slightly […]

We’re not vegan and don’t have any dietary restrictions. Would this recipe work with regular butter and sugar?
Yes, it would!
Reminds me of Gobi Manchurian only healthier since it’s not fried! Looks amazing. I’m going to try this on the weekend. Thanks for the recipe.
Vegan butter and coconut sugar, is that for Julia’s diet requirements? I assume I can use more readily available dairy butter and regular sugar or would turbinado more closely approximate the unrefined quality of palm sugar?
Yes! This recipe was modified for our family, but regular butter and sugar work!
Hey! Looks good. I know you’ve used vegan butter in other recipes, but I have never a seem vegan butter in sticks. Which brand did you use?!
Earth Balance!
