Roasted Cauliflower, Tomato and Goat Cheese Casserole

Cauliflower Casserole
Not a fan of cauliflower? I’m willing to bet this dish will change your perception of  this vegetable. The best way to prepare cauliflower is by roasting it! Roasting will caramelize it, bringing out a sweeter flavour. You would not get this flavour by boiling the heck out of your cauliflower. The combination of herbs spices in the tomato sauce add a nice compliment to the caramelized cauliflower. This recipe is also vegetarian and gluten free.
