Notes
A simple twist on roasted cauliflower, the flavors added by the olives and currants give it a delicious savory and sweet profile. Cauliflower is an incredible food, it directly supports the body’s detox system, its antioxidant system, and its inflammatory/ anti-inflammatory system, thus making it a highly cancer preventative food.
