Cauliflower
Cauliflower is the one surprising produce to which I look forward. The perfect, slightly smokey taste of roasted cauliflower is up there as one of my favorite foods. Cauliflower also works well to bulk up a vegetarian meal or as a perfect, simple side to any main dish. Whenever I get a head of cauliflower, I always break it down to have as a quick snack to grab when I’m running through the house (often accompanied by some homemade ranch!)
Cauliflower takes a bit of extra effort to freeze but is well worth it. To freeze, cut fresh cauliflower into florets and soak in a cold salt water bath for 10 minutes. Drain, rinse, and transfer to boiling water to blanch. Blanch for 2-3 minutes and remove to an ice bath. From there, toss in a freezer safe container. Frozen cauliflower is perfect for hearty stews and stir fries!
