Roasted romanesco is a beautiful and flavorful side dish that pairs perfectly with both meat and fish. This oven-baked romanesco is wonderfully crispy because it’s best when still slightly firm.

This green cauliflower looks so festive that it’s perfect for serving during the holidays. With a bit of imagination, the florets even look like little Christmas trees, don’t you think?
